Frequently asked about Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla di Cialla
What does Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla taste like?
Yellow apple, almond blossom, white pepper, honeysuckle and hay on the nose; yellow stone fruit, almond pith, lemon and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long finish.
Is this an orange wine like Gravner Ribolla?
No. Ronchi di Cialla vinifies Ribolla Gialla in the classical still-white idiom with no extended skin contact, the opposite stylistic approach to the Oslavia orange-wine school. The result is a fresh, almond-blossom Friulian white rather than a tea-tannin amber wine.
When should I drink Ronchi di Cialla Ribolla Gialla?
Drink between 2 and 10 years from vintage. The wine peaks at year 3 to 5; almond aromatics deepen with bottle age.
