RIBOLLA GIALLA

2013 Collio Visintini

Grapes Ribolla
Colour White
Origin Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia
Sub-district Collio
ABV 13%

Palmira says that 2013 was a brilliant growing season for them, just after the grapes set on the vines the rain stopped and a long, steady dry spell followed so the fruit was in perfect shape by harvest time. This Ribolla has a tad more weight than the 2012 - but the crisp crunchy pineapple fruit is there in abundance with brightness adding a lovely refreshing kick. Just what you would hope for from this unique and intriguing variety. L&S (Oct 2014)

Straw-yellow in colour. Fresh and floral on the nose, with hints of citrus fruit. Dry, with fruity and floral flavours similar to those found on the nose.
Excellent as an aperitif, but a perfect accompaniment to a light fish starter, boiled fish, oysters, fresh water fish with light sauces and creamy soups. Best served at 10-12°C.
Winemaker's notes (Sept 2014)

Azienda Agricola Visintini

Founded in 1973 by Andrea Visintini, this twenty-four hectare estate has vineyards in Collio, Collio Orientali and Grave del Friuli, and is now controlled by the new generation of Oliviero and his twin sisters Cinzia and Palmira. The wines are beautifully made, each with wonderful expression of both the grape and the 'terroir'. Vineyard practices are now entirely biodynamic, and certified this year. These wines are also extraordinarily good value in what is generally a highly priced region.

With the 2014 vintage the family have unveiled the brilliant new labels for each of the wines - with the beautiful botanical drawings of flavours or fruits that relate to the flavour profiles in each different varietal. The wines are great too - in a far from straightforward vintage - beautiful fruit definition and lovely bright minerality.
