RIBOLLA GIALLA DEL COLLIO

Autocthon grape that you only find in Friuli A superb nose of great complexity. Butter, toast,flowers, peaches, minerals in this very particular white wine Fresh and complex; a delight.

The small-to-medium sized bunch is cylindrical, sufficiently compact, rarely winged. The grape is medium to large in size with a thick pruinose skin. Alabastrine colour with characteristical dotting.

Traditional white vinification. After the grapes are harvested by hand, the vinification proceeds with a gentle pressing and cold washing of the must. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 18° C in steel cisterns.

The wine is straw-yellow with golden shades. It has a medium alcoholic content. Typical, dry, refreshing taste with slight lemon-like overtones. When young the aroma suggests haystraw. With ageing it gains some pleasant acacia-flowers hints.
