Quinto Quarto Ribolla 2020 - Franco Terpin

Quinto Quarto Rebula - Franco Terpin

Franco Terpin's Quinto Quarto Ribolla is a wine made from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes. The grapes come from vineyards where synthetic chemicals are not used, and where only low doses of sulfur and copper are allowed to counteract the development of bacteria. After manual harvesting, the bunches ferment spontaneously in steel thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts, macerating in contact with the skins for three days; then we move on to the refinement phase, always done in steel for 8 months. Unfiltered before bottling. It has a golden yellow color. On the nose aromas of ripe fruit with mineral notes. On the palate it is pleasant, medium-bodied and very easy to drink.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip goblets. Daily wine that holds a few years in the cellar.

Pairing

Great to match with fish dishes, to try with a salad of turnips and shrimp.
