Ribolla 2015

Description

The Gravner Ribolla Gialla 2015 offers a distinctive profile within Gravner’s natural winemaking tradition, showcasing the expressive potential of Ribolla Gialla. In contrast to the structured Breg Rosso, this wine leans into a golden, amber hue, developed through extensive maceration in Georgian qvevri followed by time in large oak barrels. Aromas of spiced citrus, honey, and wildflowers arise from the biodynamically farmed vineyards on the Italy-Slovenia border, capturing the vineyard’s unique microclimate and Gravner’s meticulous craftsmanship.

On the palate, it’s both textured and fresh, with lively acidity balanced by a complex minerality, offering layers of candied ginger and herbal depth. The finish lingers with a pure mineral drive, reflecting Gravner’s commitment to tradition while emphasizing a distinctive, vibrant expression of Ribolla Gialla. Each sip highlights Gravner’s approach to natural winemaking, creating a harmonious yet bold contrast to the more tannic, earthy qualities of his Breg Rosso.
