The Estate

Rodaro is known for preserving and promoting indigenous Friulian varieties like Schioppettino. The winery’s hillside vineyards and careful winemaking allow this rare grape to express its distinctive spice and structure. The style highlights both tradition and regional character.

Grapes are harvested from hillside vineyards and fermented with careful extraction to preserve aromatics and structure. Aging typically occurs in neutral vessels or lightly used oak to maintain varietal expression. The winemaking approach emphasizes spice, balance, and finesse. The result is a distinctive, terroir-driven red.

Food Suggestions
