Visintini, Ribolla Gialla, Colli Orientali, Friuli, Italy 2023
{biodynamic} 100% Ribolla Gialla
LEMON & FLORAL AROMAS. ELEGANT, SUBTLE, BRIGHT.
The 14th century poet, Boccaccio, listed the consumption of Ribolla Gialla as an example of sinful gluttony, but if drinking this wine is wrong, we don’t want to be right! Indigenous to the Italian-Slovenian borderlands, the venerable grape is at least 800 years old. This example is a paragon of vibrant elegance, with delicate minerality, citrus & flowers, lively acidity, and a satisfying finish.
Serving Suggestion: Crab spaghettini w/ lemon gremolata & red chili flakes. Tomato cucumber salad w/ fresh dill & fried capers. Prosciutto & arugula pesto pizza.
