Chalmers Dott Schioppettino from Heathcote opens with lifted dark cherry, black pepper and fragrant wild herbs, offering a vibrant and savoury expression of this northern Italian grape. The palate is fresh and brisk, carrying crunchy red fruits, hints of earth and a subtle rose petal lift, all wrapped in fine, raspy tannins that show real character. This Chalmers Dott Schioppettino wine highlights the grape’s natural spice and juicy energy, delivering a compelling cool climate style that feels both refined and adventurous. It suits grilled lamb, chargrilled vegetables or a mushroom risotto where its peppery detail and acidity shine. ABV and closure are not publicly listed.
