The Rjgialla from the La Tunella winery is one of the most famous expressions of Ribolla Gialla, a typical grape variety from Friuli Venezia Giulia. The Tunella winery has been passionately working with these grapes for over fifty years, seeking to enhance their energetic freshness and good aromaticity, embarking on a journey through history, memory, and tradition.
The land where this still white wine is born is predominantly hilly, and the subsoil alternates between marls and sandstones. The Ribolla Gialla grapes are hand-harvested towards the end of September, once the right degree of ripeness is reached. Immediately after harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed. At this point, the must is added with a fermentation starter, selected and created from the best selected bunches. In stainless steel tanks, fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 16°C, lasting for about 30-40 days. During this period, the must undergoes a series of batonage to obtain a complex, structured product with delicate aromas.
Finally, in the February following the harvest, it is bottled and prepared for commercialization, which takes place at the beginning of spring.'Rjgialla' La Tunella appears bright, with a straw yellow color and elegant greenish reflections. The aroma, thanks to careful winemaking techniques, is elegant and fragrant, with complex notes reminiscent of white flowers and yellow-fleshed fruits, with delicate nuances of dried fruit. A concrete white wine on the palate as well, with a light body, fresh and savory. A long and pleasant finish, with slightly aromatic notes, fully reflecting the characteristic of this blend. The delicacy and freshness of the white "Rjgialla" go hand in hand with cold appetizers and sweet and sour sauces, vegetables, and fish dishes.
