Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla - 2023 (750ml)

Bright, pale straw yellow with fleeting green reflections that reinvigorate the colour.

On the nose, it expresses freshness and vivacity; the aromas are elegant, with a bread crust notes, fruity aromas of apple and pear on a floral and mineral background.

On the palate it expresses great freshness and typicality, intensified by a perfect acidic structure and minerality. The finish is persistent, fresh and flavourful. Great balance and drinkability.

ACCOMPANIMENT

Dishes based on fish, shellfish and molluscs, vegetarian starters, good-quality sausages. Great with Sushi and Sashimi. Perfect also on its own, as an aperitif.

The Ronchi di Cialla 2023 Friuli Colli Orientali Ribolla Gialla is a more stripped-down and transparent expression of the grape that is mercifully not overworked or overthought. The wine is bright and mineral-driven with white melon and nectarine. It remains sharply focused over a lean-bodied finish. Production is 35,000 bottles. Fruit comes from cool vineyard sites surrounded by lush forests. - Monica Larner
