Vinaria, lthe Austrian magazine of wine culture, mentions Schioppettino and Picolit by Vigna Petrussa in the article by Viktor Siegl:

(...) "Als Höhepunkt in Rot würde ich jedoch den mit satter Waldbeerenfrucht prunkenden Schioppettino von Vigna Petrussa hervorheben, der feingliedrig und pointiert beginnt, dann jedoch Saft und Kraft sowie einen beachtlichen Tanninfonds ausspielt. Vom gleichen Erzeuger stammt der einst legendäre, heute in Vergessenheit geratene Süßwein Picolit aus 2016, der im Bukett einen exotischen Fruchtcocktail realisiert und durch das perfekte Équilibre von Alkohol und Restzucker einen höchst eleganten Dessertweintypus verkörpert".
