2024 Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla

Ribolla Gialla from Ronchi di Cialla showcases an indigenous white variety from Friuli-Venezia Giulia's Cialla Valley. The estate focuses on reviving and highlighting native local varieties as part of their commitment to terroir expression. Fruit is sourced from cool vineyard sites surrounded by lush forests, with the rich soil composition of Cialla contributing flint-like minerality. The wine is vinified and aged in stainless steel, resulting in a stripped-down and transparent expression that emphasizes purity and elegance without overworking the fruit.
