Schiopetto Collio Ribolla Gialla

A magnificent Northern Italian white wine displaying a bright straw yellow color with brilliant greenish reflections. Masterfully produced by the iconic Schiopetto estate—the legendary pioneer of modern Italian white winemaking—from estate vines rooted in the unique "ponca" soils (marl and sandstone) of Capriva del Friuli, this pure Ribolla Gialla opens with an incredibly fresh and energetic bouquet of white field flowers, crunchy green apples, and fresh lemon zest. The complex nose is beautifully supported by regional characteristics of wild herbs, wet limestone, and a subtle hint of ginger root. On the palate, it balances a crisp, medium-bodied citrus core and a racy, linear alpine acidity with a beautifully taut, lively texture, culminating in an exceptionally clean, dry, and mouthwatering finish defined by a persistent streak of salty marine minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with local seafood tempura, raw fish appetizers, delicate vegetable risottos, fresh goat cheese, or served as a sophisticated aperitif.
