Passion, tradition, and sustainable viticulture converge at Korsic. This approach quickly proved successful in producing distinctive wines. Indigenous grape varieties with a fantastic terroir result in unique wines. The Collio region, protected in the north by the Julian Alps from the cold continental currents, benefits from the influence of the warm Adriatic breezes from the south, which keep the grapes dry. This creates the perfect conditions for the grapes to ripen.
The vinification process of Korsic Ribolla Giallo Collio
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.
An intense and characteristic Ribolla Giallo Collio
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.
