Gravner Ribolla Venezia-Giulia Bianco 2016

Grape: Ribolla Gialla
Vintage: 2016
Type: Orange

Deeply complex and distinctive orange wine, showcasing the mastery of extended skin contact and amphora aging. It pours a rich amber hue, revealing intense aromas of dried apricots, honey, orange peel, and wild herbs, with underlying notes of nuts, iodine, and subtle oxidative character. The palate is textured and full-bodied, offering layers of ripe stone fruit, balsamic tones, and earthy minerality, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. As it evolves in the glass, hints of tea leaves, saffron, and dried flowers emerge, leading to a long, structured finish. A meditative and thought-provoking wine, best enjoyed slowly to appreciate its evolving complexity.
