This Friulian white wine from the Bastianich Winery is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes from 10-20 year old vines grown on Eocene marl soil with a clay base, at an altitude of 80-100 m above sea level. Harvest is followed by soft pressing of the carefully selected grapes, followed by decanting of the must and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about ten days. This is followed by refinement in steel for a period of 3-4 months.

Characteristics of Bastianich Ribolla Gialla sparkling wine

The organoleptic examination reveals a tight balance of mineral and citrus scents, which with time transforms into a denser sensation of wild flowers, clover honey and ripe pear. Its tannic and acidic structure makes it of immediate impact, as well as giving it longevity. The nose appears ripe and structured, with aromas of mandarin, orange, melon and pear.
