RIBOLLA GIALLA
Grapes
Ribolla Gialla
Description
A deep, smooth and generous wine, it envelops with round, nuanced sensations.
An ancient grape variety grown in Friuli Venezia Giulia. At the Vienna Exhibition in 1873, a producer from Cividale brought the “Ribola 1869 white wine” and at the end of the 19th century the Ribolla grape – “which provides a luxury wine” – predominated in both the hills and the plains. Our Ribolla Gialla, interpreted in a classic-modern key, is a balanced version, vinified in white to enhance its provenance, crispness and flavor. Round and tasty, with moderate alcohol content, it has a long mineral persistence.

The subtlety of white spring flowers meets the fruity notes of white cherries, Reinette apples and refreshing hints of citrus. Lively and mineral taste. The delicate citrus notes and elegant acidity give way to a pleasant feel of lingering freshness. The back palate shows a delicate and all-embracing balsamic finish.
FRIULANO
Grapes
Friulano
Description
Elegant and drinkable, it has a strong personality, a harmonious fruity and mineral complexity and reveals a characteristic bitter almond aftertaste. Friulano is Friuli Venezia Giulia’s best-loved wine: it derives from Sauvignonasse, a grape now almost extinct, brought to Friuli in the second half of the 19th century from the Bordeaux region. In 1898, it was found as “Tokai del Friuli” in Tarcento, and in 1933 L’Italia vinicola ed agraria, after having tasted it in Cividale, included it among the noble grapes of Friuli, with samples “truly worthy of the superior denomination”. Until 2007, it was known as Tocai Friulano and since then its name has been Friulano.

Sauvignon
Description
Wide and balanced, it is a fresh and captivating wine with unmistakable and multiple aromas of fruit and mint.
Sauvignon is an important grape variety of French origin, originating in the Loire Valley, whose name derives from the word “savage”, i.e. wild. Introduced into Friuli Venezia Giulia during the Habsburg domination in the 1880s, it has become a wine of authentic Friulian tradition. As far back as 1891, it was said that the Sauvignon Blanc grown in sandstone-marl soils (ponca) had “A robust vegetation and a mediocre, but constant and regular production (...) When drunk, it showed a fineness of flavor and fragrance and an ensemble so harmonious and at the same time generous and distinct, that it was classified as the first white wine of our province.”

PINOT GRIGIO

Pinot Grigio
Description
Complex and harmonic wine, blending sapidity to the freshness of citrus notes as proof of its great length.
This very important grape variety from Burgundy, derived from a mutation of Pinot Noir, was introduced into Friuli Venezia Giulia in the early 1800s, as an analysis of the Ruländer – Pineau gris dates it back to 1847. At the Austrian Oenological Congress, held in Gorizia, its diffusion was recommended “wherever the aim is to produce fine white wines of the highest order” and in 1896 it was found, together with Pinot Blanc, among the common grapes imported into Friuli. It prefers cool environments and has found its natural habitat in the northernmost hills of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area. It is certainly the most renowned Friulian wine in the world, as it has been enjoying considerable success for a long time.

It has been mentioned since the 18th century, but in Friuli it was described only at the end of the 19th century in the area of Cividale and in a 1921 exhibition. As early as 1933, Professor Dalmasso tasted excellent samples, as he wrote in “Agricoltura Friulana”, and after the Cividale Exhibition he considered Merlot a grape suitable for making wines for ageing as well.
