Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, indicating its freshness and youthful vibrancy.

Aroma: The nose is bright and aromatic, with fresh notes of citrus such as lemon and grapefruit, along with green apple and white peach. Subtle floral hints of acacia and white blossom are complemented by a touch of wet stone minerality, adding depth to the bouquet.

Taste: On the palate, this Ribolla Gialla is light to medium-bodied, with crisp acidity providing energy and lift. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple, and pear are balanced by a distinctive mineral backbone, creating a clean and precise profile. The wine’s slight creaminess from lees contact adds a touch of texture without overshadowing the vibrant fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering citrus and mineral notes, leaving a bright and elegant aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Ribolla Gialla pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, oysters, or ceviche. It also complements vegetable risottos, light pastas, or soft cheeses like burrata and mozzarella. Its freshness and minerality make it a versatile wine for warm-weather dining or as a delightful aperitif.
