The Ribolla Gialla Spumante from the Colle Villano winery represents innovation and the young freshness of ribolla grapes; to which is added a small note of perfume and roundness thanks to the majesty of the Chardonnay. Its production includes the use of mainly Ribolla Gialla grapes for 85% of the blend and Chardonnay for the remaining 15%. The vinification involves the use of the "long" charmat method, the must remains in autoclave for six months. The ribolla for its varietal freshness is a superb spumante base to which chardonnay adds body and aromas. The grapes of the hills, with the usual low production and the careful processing are the secret of this simple, singularly fruity sparkling wine. The last born in Villano has immediately earned its prestigious admirers.
Characteristics of this Ribolla Gialla Dry Sparkling Wine
The color of the organoleptic examination is of the classic ones, straw yellow, brilliant with gold reflections. The perlage is very fine and is the result of long maturation. The nose is rich in citrus nuances with hints of bread crust and green apple, pleasant and delicate. In the mouth it is distinguished by the fresh and vertical notes given by the ribolla that perfectly match the length and aromatic fullness of the chardonnay.
