Ribolla Gialla Spumante
SPARKLING WINE
This wine is obtained from the vinification of 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes, selected and harvested in our vineyards. Green yellow colour. Fine and persistent perlage. Elegant bouquet, floral, yeast and crusty bread. Delicate, aromatic, round flavour. Contains sulfites.
Soil composition: the soil is of Eocene origin and is rich in clay which give the wine its typical characteristics of fragrance and aroma. The presence of micro-elements in the soil such as boron, magnesium, etc., together with the typical microclimate of the area, favour the grapes with a good natural level of alcohol and acidity
Vinification: early harvest so as to achieve the spumante base with a good acidity and level alcohol that is not too high (around 11 % volume), soft pressing, refrigeration followed by the settling and racking of the cleaned must, then fermentation at a controlled temperature (around 17°C) and the addition of selected yeasts which favour the development of the wine’s characteristic fragrances and aromas. This will be the perfect base for the “second fermentation” in tank to became sparkling under the rules of DOC Friuli. Amazing as aperitiv, raw fish, sushi or delicate food. Best served at 6-8°C.
