white grape

Ribolla Gialla

Cool alpine foothills of Friuli and Slovenia.

Known as: Ribolla Gialla, Ribolla

Ribolla Gialla is the noble white of Italy's far northeast, a high-acid grape shared with Slovenia's Brda hills and beloved by skin-contact winemakers.

Its crisp citrus and stony minerality respond brilliantly to extended maceration, producing the amber orange wines that made natural wine famous.

For the buyer, Ribolla Gialla is a textural thrill — fresh in youth, fascinating when made as an orange wine.
