I Clivi Ribolla Gialla ‘a Tessa’ Venezia Giulia IGP

Case of 6 bottles

Bottle Size: 750 ml

Vintage: 2022

Varietals: Ribolla Gialla 100%

Alcohol %: 12.5

Region: Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Tasting Notes: Aromatically subtle, with nose of lemon zest, palate marked by a refreshing citric acidity combined with a salty, very dry mineral finish.

Ageing/Vinification: Hand-picked whole grapes, no prior de-stemming, pressed very gently to extract only the first and cleanest part of the must, which is immediately pumped in a stainless steel vat. Most solid and heavy parts decant overnight. In the morning the upper part of the must is separated from the bottom and racked in to another stainless steel tank, where the natural, grapes’ own yeasts start the fermentation of the sugars. Alcoholic fermentation lasts until complete reduction of the sugars into alcohol. Matures 6 months on its own lees, always remaining in stainless steel vats (no oak). Wine is bottled with a light filtration only enough to eliminate the cloudiness.

Vineyard: 10 year old vines planted in Gramogliano Hills, Corno di Rosazzo, Province of Udine, along the Slovenian Border on soil containing marl and sandstone flysch of Eocene origin.
