Gravner Ribolla 2014 Venezia Giulia IGT

Grape:Ribolla Gialla
Vintage: 2014
Type: Orange

A very rainy and generally tough year. Nevertheless, the grapes produced – especially those from old vines – were robust and developed a reasonable level of noble rot. Last day of harvesting: Monday, 20 October.

Made from Ribolla grapes. While fermenting in Georgian amphorae buried underground, it underwent a long maceration with wild yeasts and no temperature control. After the drawing off and pressing phases the wine was poured back into amphorae for at least five more months before it started ageing in large oak barrels, where it was left for six years.
