The Story
This is the flagship variety of our winery. It has its cradle of origin in a part of the Friuli Colli Orientali and Collio region, both Italian and Slovenian. The history of Ribolla is richly documented. The first document attesting to the existence of Ribolla wine, which was produced from different varieties, dates back to 1207. However, we have to wait several centuries before we find a document with a definite reference to the grape variety - it was 1822! Ribolla gialla has been used as a single variety for about seventy years. Initially it was only partially fermented must, today it is highly appreciated as a still dry wine and as a sparkling wine.
