The sparking Ribolla Gialla from San Lurins winery

The Winemaking
The winemaking of Ribolla Gialla Frizzante is a process that combines tradition and innovation. The whole grapes, harvested manually in crates to ensure maximum integrity, undergo gentle pressing. Only the free-run juice from the first pressing, about 50% of the juice, is used. This juice is cold-settled for 12-15 hours, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature between 20 and 22°C. Almost at the end of fermentation, when only a few grams of sugar remain, the wine is bottled to complete fermentation in the bottle, creating a natural overpressure. The bottles rest for at least 12 months before being marketed, thus ensuring a superior quality product, expressive and original.
