Ribolla

PDF Icon PDF downloaden

This wine is made from Ribolla Gialla, from Oslavia in the Collio. After harvest, the grapes are vinified in Georgian qvevri (amphorae) buried underground. During fermentation, the wine receives a long skin soaking, with indigenous (wild) yeasts, without temperature control and with a pronounced focus on patience and natural evolution.

After siphoning and pressing, the wine is returned to amphora and continues to age there for at least five months. It then moves to large oak barrels, where it is given no less than six years to refine and integrate. The wine is finally bottled with no clarification and no filtration, fully preserving character, structure and texture.

Year 2013 was marked by a lot of rain and a harvest that continued until early November.

Serving temperature: 12-18°C

Gravner

On the steep hills of Oslavia, a small hamlet above Gorizia in Friuli, the Gravner family has been making wine since 1901. The vineyards are in the heart of the Collio/Brda hills, right on the Italian-Slovenian border, between the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps. It is a landscape of forests, terraces, steep slopes and bright, almost dramatic light. Today, Gravner is regarded worldwide as one of the absolute references for skin-contact wine and for profound, long-lived wines aged for years in underground amphorae.
