Ribolla Gialla 2022 - I Clivi

Ribolla Gialla - I Clivi

The Ribolla Gialla by I Clivi is a light and elegant Friulian white wine. Fermentation in steel tanks without the addition of selected yeasts. Then a rest on the fine lees that goes from six to eight months, and lastly a bottling with light filtration and equally light sulphiting. An aromatically very fine and delicately floral wine that reminds the nose of lemon peel. On the palate it is characterized by a persistent acidity with a salty and savory finish.

Service

It is advisable to taste at a temperature of 10/12 ° in large tulip goblets. Wine to drink at once, but it holds very fine.

Pairing

Great with first fishy fish dishes, to try with some of the weasel filets wrapped in speck.

Cellar:  I Clivi

The I Clivi company was born in Friuli between the Collio Goriziano and the Colli Orientali where, and the name comes from the gentle sunny slopes found in this area. The company was founded by Ferdinando Zanusso in the late 1990s, when he bought a small two-hectare vineyard with old vines on the southern slope of Monte Quarin. From the outset, the path of territoriality was taken, to let the terroir speak through the grapes. Today the winery is led by his son Mario, who cultivates twelve hectares of old vines under certified organic conditions, aged between sixty and over eighty years, where we find native vines such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Verduzzo and Malvasia Istriana . The production areas are two distinct DOCs, Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, whose sensory difference is exclusively linked to the microclimate. Wines with a great personality.
