Ribolla Gialla Colli Orientali DOC 2022

You can't say Friuli without instinctively thinking of Ribolla Gialla. In this case, in particular, we are in the presence of Livio Felluga's Ribolla Gialla. Friuli Colli Orientali DOC, this Ribolla has its roots in a particularly suitable soil, in vineyards located in the Rosazzo area. Harvested by hand between the first and second ten days of September, the grapes are gently destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. At the end of fermentation, then, the wine is kept on its lees in stainless steel containers for about six months, acquiring greater complexity and depth. Straw yellow in colour with delicate green highlights, this Ribolla is characterised by an intense, fresh and refined bouquet. White spring flowers and fruity notes of strawberry pulp, Renetta apple, citrus and balsamic herbs. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be a lively and pleasantly mineral wine. Here the citrus notes of citron and lime give a lingering sensation of freshness. Delicate and enveloping, it has a slightly balsamic aftertaste. Excellent as an aperitif, this is the white wine to serve alongside a nice fried dish, battered vegetables, prawns and small fish.
