Italy Friuli Venezia Guilia, Vigna Petrussa, the Wines
Hilde created a white blend called Richenza made of Friulano, Malvasia Instriana (also known as Malvazija Istarska,) Riesling Renano (the Italian name for Riesling), and Picolit. She has been making this wine for almost 17 years, and the style has changed and refined.
They make a Friulano and a Picolit as well as a sweet Picolit, made from 50-year-old vines on the Santo Spirito hill in the Albana plain. One bottle is all that you will get from 1 to 2 vines.
As to the red wines, in addition to Schioppettino, they produce a Refosco and a Ribolla Gialla and are working on a blend with the International grapes.
Many of these wines can be found in the US through Vero Vino.
