Collavini Benedete Ribolla Gialla Venezia Giulia 2023 Wine Review
Overview The Collavini Benedete Ribolla Gialla Venezia Giulia 2023 is a stunning expression of Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Crafted from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes, this wine offers a fresh and vibrant experience, perfect for those seeking a crisp, aromatic white with a touch of sophistication. With its 12.5% ABV, this dry white wine delivers an enjoyable balance of citrus and subtle butteriness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, or fresh cheeses.
Tasting Notes This wine is characterised by its star-bright, straw-yellow colour that immediately captures the eye. On the nose, it offers a fresh, fruit-driven aroma, with delicate notes of lemon verbena and grapefruit, providing a refreshing introduction to the palate. The mouthfeel is clean and tangy, balanced by a well-measured creaminess, adding a smooth texture to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, with a satisfying hint of citrus and a touch of butteriness that leaves a lasting impression.

| Winery | The vineyard is situated in IGT Venezia Giulia at 100 metres above sea level. It has a south-facing, sunny orientation with gentle coastal breezes from the Adriatic Sea, which keeps the vines dry and healthy. The Alps help to protect the vineyards from cold, northerly winds. Warm days and cool nights offer the perfect combination to allow slow maturation of the grapes, maintaining a beautiful balance between natural acidity and sugar levels. The 20-year-old Ribolla Gialla vines are spur cordon and Guyot trained and are planted at a density of 4,800 per hectare. The vines are carefully managed throughout the viticultural year, yielding 95 quintals yearly. They are grown in 'Ponca', the Eocene soil of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, which is rich in sandstone with alternating layers of marl. The meticulously selected bunches are harvested in small cases during the morning when the northerly breeze has dried the light veil of nocturnal humidity. |
