Scarpetta is a Friulian inspired brand created by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and former French Laundry Chef Lachlan Patterson. Their passion for all things Friuli inspired the creation of their own brand, Scarpetta, in 2007. True to Italian traditions, part of everyday meals include drinking good wine, great conversation, and little moments of celebration. Scarpetta was created as an homage to this lifestyle, with the term referring to a small piece of bread used to soak up the last bit of delicious sauce on your plate that you can't possibly leave behind.

It began with 50 cases of old vine Friulano produced to be sold at Frasca. The demand for the wine was strong, so they slowly expanded the line to include Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and a sparkling rosé. Bobby’s love of Barbera from Monferrato eventually expanded the project to include this varietal as well. Today, they source their grapes from vineyards in Monferrato, Tuscany, and Friuli. The ultimate goal of the brand is to make affordable everyday wines that taste special.
