For many generations, the Korsic family has cultivated vineyards in the Collio region, located in the northeasternmost part of Italy, bordering Slovenia. The winery is situated in the picturesque hilltop village of San Floriano, overlooking the rolling hills of Collio to the south and the Alps to the north. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at the end of September. This improves quality because selection can take place in the vineyards themselves. In the winery, destemming and gentle pressing follow. The juice then undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine remains in barrels on its own fine lees, where it matures for several months.
The Ribolla Giallo Collio appears straw-yellow in the glass, with occasional golden reflections upon closer inspection. The aroma is delightful, with rich fruit and floral notes followed by hints of almond and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is intense, dry, and fresh with a characteristic minerality. The wine has an elegant flavor with a light balsamic finish. The Ribolla Giallo Collio pairs well with various fish or vegetable appetizers. This white wine is also excellent as an aperitif.
