Venezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla IGT Iside 2023 Bosco del Merlo

A Ribolla Gialla which, even in its name, is a tribute to the territory: Isis, the goddess of Ancient Egypt who represents motherhood, rebirth and magic, with reference to the forces of nature. The vineyards are located in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the most suitable area for the cultivation of Ribolla Gialla, with optimal soil characteristics for the cultivation of this fresh and aromatic vine.

In the vineyard, the grapes are harvested when they reach perfect ripeness, in the first ten days of September. Harvesting is also instrumental in preserving the organoleptic qualities of the grapes intact and takes place during the early hours of the morning, to preserve aromas and fragrances. In the cellar, after a short maceration, the must is separated from the skins by soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at low temperatures and is followed by ageing on the lees for a medium-long period.

A beautiful deep straw yellow colour stands out in the glass, while sweet scents are perceived on the nose reminiscent of wild flowers and white pulp fruit, first of all peach. The sip is soft and enveloping, characterized by balance and by that mineral component that make it a wine of good flavour and excellent persistence.

It is ideal to combine with fish-based dishes, such as an excellent baked sea bass in a salt crust. Absolutely to try with a selection of blue cheeses.
