The taste is full, rich and cheerful with acidity, which leave a fine mineral trace on the tongue in an elegant and durable after-taste. Definitely a nicely mellowed Ribolla with good harmony. The bouquet reminds us of citrus, ripe pears and grassland herbs.
The wine is produced from 100% Yellow Ribolla. The grapes are harvested in the second half of September and then macerated for 4 days. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers. The wine matures on lees for one year.
