Ribolla Gialla Gradis'ciutta Magnum 2023

A great Ribolla Gialla from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Magnum format, comes in a beautiful wooden box. It has been awarded several times by the Italian wine guides!

This wine is made exclusively from Ribolla Gialla grapes grown in very old vineyards named “Budignacco”, characterized by a soil called “ponca”. These vineyards, planted at Guyot, have been always present in the company. Traditionally the grapes are macerated for 24 hours and then pressed and fermented at controlled temperature. Afterwards the wine is conserved “sur lie” until bottling. The color is pale yellow. Unmistakable is its very pleasant varietal bouquet with aromas of citrus, apple and hints of cream. The palate has a fragrant input with a succession of sensations, leaving room for elegant flavors of apple in the final. Contains sulphites. Produced by GRADIS'CIUTTA - Giasbana, 32/a - S.Floriano del Collio - Italy.

The producer

The company has chosen to produce those great wines that characterize this area focusing, therefore, on whites. 85% of vineyards produce white grape varieties: Pinot Grigio, Tocai Friulano, Malvasia, Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The lands consist of marl and stratified sandstone of Eocene origin, typical of the Collio, locally called "Ponca".
