Located by the Slovenian border lie the vineyards of Il Carpino, where they make stunning minimal intervention wines. This golden yellow, almost amber, Ribolla Gialla is an impressive expression of the native varietal.
Dry, elegant, and fresh, the nose reminds of dried fruit and spices while the palate is intense and enveloping. This is a Friuli wine through and through, and definitely a must-try!
