Schiopetto is a renowned winery located in Capriva del Friuli, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. It was founded by Mario Schiopetto, a pioneer of modern white wine in Friuli, who crafted his first "Tocai" in 1965, marking the beginning of a new era in white wine production in Italy.


The winery is centered around the Palazza Arcivescovile estate, which Mario leased in 1970 and later purchased in 1989. He transformed the neglected vineyards into meticulously maintained plots, leveraging the potential of the local soil known as "Ponca," rich in clay and limestone.
