“A brilliant producer, Schiopetto is the reference point for just how flavorful, perfumed, and compelling dry whites from Friuli can be. Mario Schiopetto continues to satiate the olfactory senses and palate with his extraordinary offerings. While not cheap, they are the most compelling tankfermented and aged dry whites made in northeastern Italy. Possessing abundant flavors that build incrementally in the mouth, they are dazzling wines that I can’t recommend highly enough.” Robert Parker
“Mario Schiopetto, starting in the late 1960s, brought about a new era in Italian wine, changing the face of white wine in the country. I still remember first meeting the late Schiopetto in the 1980s and marvelling at the clarity and brightness of his whites. That style continues today and seems on its way to a new quality level since the transfer of the estate’s ownership some years ago.”

“Legendary pioneer of Collio, with a 20.000 cases production base. Excellent his Sauvignon, Pinot Blanc and Tocai DOC, as well as his ensemble wine known as Blanc des Rosis. The new IGT wines are elegant and generous, with wines from both the area of Collio and Colli Orientali” Hugh Johnson, Wine Atlas 2007 ****
“Perhaps the finest example of all I tasted was Schiopetto Tocai Friulano 2006 Collio.”

“Here is a beautifully executed northern white (mostly barrel-fermented Chardonnay and Tocai Friulano) with pristine notes of stone fruit, banana, pineapple, vanilla and yellow flowers. It has good intensity in the mouth with a silky, creamy fell and very good persistency on the finish.” 91 points – Wine Enthusiast, May 2007
