Ribolla

PDF Icon PDF downloaden

This particular wine is made from Ribolla grapes. During fermentation in Georgian amphorae (qvevri) buried underground, the wine undergoes a long maceration with wild yeasts, without temperature control. After draining and pressing, the wine is transferred back into amphorae, where it continues to age for at least five months.

The wine is then aged for six years in large oak barrels, adding depth and complexity. The wine is bottled without clarification or filtration to fully preserve the character and purity of the wine.

The 2018 growing season began with a warm spring with regular rainfall. The summer had nice weather with adequate precipitation. In the fall, frequent rain and higher temperatures caused a slightly earlier harvest, which was completed on Monday, Oct. 22.

Serving temperature: 14-18 °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.
