Ribolla Gialla Riserva Primosic 2019

The Ribolla Gialla Riserva by Primosic is a wine that offers minerality and longevity, two key elements that identify the hills of the Collio region. A bottle that knows how to wait for the right moment to give its best, also thanks to the incredible relationship that ties the varietal to the terroir of Oslavia, always the cradle of Ribolla. A layered nose opens to a complex and linear sip at the same time, where the palate is enveloped by a substantial drink. The perfect label for an evening in the company of white wine enthusiasts.

The Ribolla Gialla Riserva Primosic originates from those vineyards whose territory is characterized by the classic friulano “ponca”, a mix of marls and sandstones that define the Collio. The grapes are hand-picked when they are slightly overripe, and are immediately destemmed. The berries are pressed, and the obtained must ferments spontaneously in open wooden tanks, in the absence of sulfur dioxide, with frequent pump-overs; the maceration in contact with the skins lasts for 24 days. The wine is then separated from the skins and transferred to 500-600 liter barrels and 1500 liter casks, where fermentation continues. The aging on the fine lees lasts a total of 24 months and takes place in oak barrels. At the time of bottling, the Ribolla is not filtered.

The Ribolla Gialla Riserva by Primosic presents itself to the eye with a golden yellow color. A concentrated array of aromas envelops the nose, structured around floral notes and mineral effluvia, intertwined with hints of ripe fruit and sweet spices. On the palate, it has an excellent structure, with a velvety profile that envelops the palate with roundness and a sip where fruit, freshness, and sapidity come together as one. A label that allows us to discover the aging potential of Ribolla Gialla years after the harvest, with the promise of evolving continuously into the near future.
