2023 I Clivi Ribolla Gialla Brut nOmi
NOMI is a Brut Nature sparkling wine made primarily from the indigenous Ribolla Gialla grape, with some sources indicating a blend with direct-pressed Pinot Noir vinified as white wine. Produced using a single-step fermentation method in steel tanks with native yeasts, the wine undergoes 6-8 months of maturation on fine lees before bottling with minimal residual sugar (1.6-2 g/L). The winemaking approach is similar to pétillant naturel, with fermentation sealed in tank to build natural carbonation. Grapes are hand-harvested from 10-year-old vines and pressed gently to extract only the flowering must. The wine reflects Friuli's clay soils, which contribute texture, minerality, and bright acidity to this bone-dry, mineral-driven aperitif-style sparkler.

Farming
Harvest
Hand-picked grapes, soft pressing with minimal over-extraction (max 1.2 bar) to extract the first clean part of the must, followed by overnight decantation in steel tanks to remove heavy parts
Fermentation
Clear must transferred to stainless steel vats where native yeasts ferment sugars to below 2 g/l; one-step fermentation method similar to Moscato d'Asti with shortened tank fermentation process; secondary fermentation occurs in tank with pétillant method
Aging
Maturation on fine lees for 6–8 months in stainless steel and concrete vats, followed by light filtration and minimal SO2 additions (about 30 mg/l) before bottling under pressure; Brut Nature dosage
