Ribolla Gialla
An ancient white variety from northern Italy, bordering Slovenia; rarely seen elsewhere. Ribolla Gialla yields dry, racy wines. When made with traditional white wine vinification methods, the grape offers delicate floral aromas, peach and citrus flavors alongside crisp acidity; wines are typically light in body.
Thanks to thick skins, when it’s produced with prolonged skin contact and aged in large oak casks, Ribolla Gialla yields more complexity, with a great depth of flavors including dried apricot, honeyed nut and mineral. It was considered one of Italy’s greatest white wines, and was always present on the dining tables of nobles in Venice during the 13th century.
