A traditional Friuli wine aged in stainless steel tanks for 5 months, Ribolla Gialla is the last white grape to be harvested at the end of September. Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted ripe mango and apple scents meld into hints of honeysuckle, apricot and light quince. Full and round in the mouth the palate dishes up flavours of mango, spicy red apples, quince and bees wax over traces of wet stone. Finishes dry with fresh acidity and a medium length aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
