I spent some time in Italy in a town called pordenone. And there were two wines both red one a sparkling red. Forgive my spelling but the sparkling was called Brachetto and the other Schippatino. I`ve have looked long and hard for them in the UK without success. I heard they may only be seasonal to that region only which I believe is the fruille region. Does any out there Know who may import them?

Hi Big P, Brachetto is from the asti region in north east Italy, I've seen this wine in a Bistro in Knutsford, Cheshire, it was £19 a bottle, whilst here in italy it's slightly cheaper ! Some others more available fromm that region you may like to try is Barbera D'Asti, Barbera del Monferrato, Dolcetto D'Alba. Schioppettino is also called Ribolla Nera from the Fruli area try this link to buy [link] .
