This wine represents a perfect synthesis of the freshness and aromatic complexity that characterize Friulian native grape varieties. With its vivacity and freshness, Ribolla Gialla serves magnificently both as an aperitif and when paired with fish dishes, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.
A wine that strikes a balance between tradition and modernity, capable of satisfying even the most discerning palates.
The Winemaking
The winemaking of Ribolla Gialla begins with the pressing of whole grapes, a process that yields a high-quality free-run must. This must is statically decanted at cold temperatures; subsequently, selected yeasts are added to initiate a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 16° and 18°C. After fermentation, the wine is racked and left on fine lees until spring, with frequent bâtonnage to give the wine a rich and full texture.
Tasting the wine
Ribolla Gialla presents itself with a delicate yellow color and lively greenish reflections, a clear expression of its youth. On the nose, delicate and fresh aromas are perceived, with slightly citrusy and floral notes on a discreet mineral background. On the palate, the wine is fresh, savory, and dry, confirming the decisive minerality characteristic of wines derived from this grape variety. Its youth is a virtue that invites immediate consumption, offering great enjoyment.
Food Pairings
Ideal as an aperitif wine, it also pairs well with fish dishes prepared simply, such as fish “all’acqua pazza,” or more elaborate and skillfully sautéed preparations. Its freshness and minerality make it perfect for enhancing the delicate flavors of fish. It is recommended to serve Ribolla Gialla at a temperature of 11°C to fully appreciate its organoleptic qualities. A wine that represents a balance between tradition and modernity, capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates.
