Ribolla Gialla is a thick-skinned, late-ripening indigenous grape that Stanko believed was entirely wasted when made into a standard white wine; its true soul requires extraction. Part of the legendary blue-label \"Flagship\" line, the hand-harvested fruit is grown on mineral-dense \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"488\"\u003eponca\u003c\/i\u003e soils (layered marl and sandstone). In the cellar, the grapes undergo an intense three-month maceration on the skins in large oak vats with zero temperature control or sulfur additions. The wine is then aged for a patient three to four years in neutral oak \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"751\"\u003ebotti\u003c\/i\u003e and rested for an additional year in the bottle. Released in the estate's signature, shareable 1-liter format with a narrow cork designed for optimal aging, it is bottled completely unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eIn the glass, it pours a deep, luminous amber-orange with brilliant copper and burnt-topaz highlights. The nose is incredibly deep, complex, and wild, offering an evolving kaleidoscope of dried orange peel, apricot compote, black tea leaves, bruised yellow pear, and a distinct, savory undertone of white pepper and beeswax. On the palate, a \"crystalline\" current of high-toned, structural acidity cuts directly through the massive phenolic extract and physical weight of the wine. The prolonged skin contact leaves an imposing, architectural framework of fine-grained, tongue-coating tannins that provides incredible grip and focus. The finish is stunningly long, dry, and savory, leaving a persistent impression of dried citrus peels, dried herbs, and a powerful, salty stamp of crushed stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49890879308016,"sku":"ASSIGN","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/1L-Radikon-Ribolla-2019_2_1_93bc5e2f-f975-4f9c-9c1c-aa3702f3ca44.jpg?v=1748558878","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/radikon-ribolla-gialla-2020-1-litter","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
