Ribolla Gialla

Ribolla Gialla is a typical grape of northeastern Italy vinified alone or in blend with the use of other grapes. Widely requested by consumers, it can be vinified as still wine or in the sparkling version. The first historical document concerning the appearance of the Ribolla Gialla dates back to 1296 with the name Rabola. The recent rediscovery of the Ribolla Gialla grape has allowed the experimentation of short macerations while the aromatic charge of the young Ribolla can be preserved with fast vinifications and immediate consumption that allow the perception of more distinct floral and mineral notes. With a fruity and floral nose that ranges from litchi to peach, from acacia to hay, Ribolla Gialla has a medium-high acidity and a medium body. The ageing of the Ribolla Gialla can take place in wood giving the wine oxidation and consequent spicy and iodized aromas that refine the body and color. The Collio DOC and Colli Orientali del Friuli appellations welcome the Ribolla Gialla in purity or in blend. For the Collio DOC appellation, Ribolla Gialla must be produced from vineyards covering at least 85% of the company total and have an alcoholic strength of at least 11% vol.
