Why we like it
Centuries-old native grape, Ribolla Gialla has seen its fame grow since the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Its cradle are the vineyards of Colli Orientali of Friuli that give the wine a delicate, fresh, lively character with great finesse. Mainly trained in the Guyot system, the vines of our Ribolla Gialla benefit from marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin. The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes are harvested by hand, to preserve the integrity of the berry. Carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period, the fruit is then soft crushed and the must obtained is allowed to settle. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine settles on the lees for a few months to enhance savoriness, creaminess and aging potential. The bottled wine is then aged in temperature- controlled binning cellars.
