Ribolla Gialla (2019)

$23.00

Local variety cultivated mainly in the hills. In the past, Ribolla Gialla was blended with Tocai adding its characteristic longevity and freshness to the resulting wine, thanks to its pleasantly bitter note. Today the variety is made pure in both still and sparkling versions.

Richly acidic and boasting a medium-structured body, this wine goes well with fish starters and mains, shellfish, and seafood.
