schioppettino

[Botafogo]

Schioppettino means "buckshot" in Italian, so named due to its explosive flavor. A friend of mine calls them "formula one Zinfandel". I don't know the producer you named (check the label for more info like "Azienda Agricola" or "Cantina" with a name after it) but you should be drinking that soon with some nice spicy grilled sausage and onions with paprika on top.
