Collio DOC Ribolla Gialla Maralba 2023

Maralba white wine is produced with the autochthonous Ribolla Gialla grape variety in purity. The grapes come from the villages of Oslavia and Capriva del Friuli from vineyards in a hilly position with an altitude of 150 and 80 m above sea level. The soil is the typical ponca, a formation of sedimentary origin from the single Eocene, or stratifications of calcareous marl and sandstone. Ribolla Gialla is a historic vine of Friuli, present since the Middle Ages. It gives more or less structured wines with excellent freshness and hints of citrus and white fruit.

The grapes are hand-picked and de-stemmed. They undergo a short cold maceration with the skins. Then they are pressed and the free-run must ferments in stainless steel vats at a low temperature. The wine ages on its own lees in steel for 6 months.
