The ripening of the grapes for this Ribolla Gialla wine is influenced to a considerable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight, among other things. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by 9 months of ageing in large oak barrels.
