About the Icons
This Ribolla Gialla is an "orange wine", having spent some 80 days in contact with the skins. The technique gives white wines more of the texture on the palate of a red wine, and diminishes the impression of acidity. It also deepens the color, and contributes a range of slightly oxidative flavors that suggest citrus rind, blood orange and spice. Some orange wines can be quite funky as well. This Ribolla Gialla is not.

 

Producer notes ~ "Our philosophy of cultivation of the vine is based on respect for nature, for the vines themselves, and for the character of the landscape; we believe that these elements are interdependent and, accordingly, that we must work to bring out the best in each of them. Our maximum care and attention is given to the vineyard, constantly seeking to keep it healthy, refusing the use of all types of weed-killers or other chemical products and, when necessary, utilizing solely products for organic agriculture. Excluding the use of products obtained from chemical synthesis and working the soil as carefully and delicately as possible, we seek to maintain the natural fertility and character of the vines as well as the healthiness and natural character of the vineyard itself. All this creates a harmonious rapport with the environment which helps us to grow natural grapes and produce natural wines."
