Product Info
The 2018 Gravner Ribolla Venezia Giulia IGT stands as a magnificent benchmark of orange wine craftsmanship, hailing from the prestigious Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. This extraordinary expression is crafted entirely from Ribolla Gialla grapes, a varietal that reveals its full potential through Joško Gravner's meticulous and unconventional winemaking philosophy. The wine's character emerges from an extended and deliberate skin contact process conducted in traditional underground Georgian amphorae, a technique that imparts remarkable depth and textural complexity. Following this transformative maceration, the wine rests patiently in large oak casks, allowing for graceful aging and the development of layered aromatics and nuanced flavors. The commitment to minimal intervention—notably the absence of filtration—preserves the wine's natural essence and full-bodied character. The result is a visually stunning deep amber-yellow wine that captivates the eye before the first sip. On the palate, expect a profoundly complex and highly textured experience, with the distinctive mineral-driven profile and savory notes characteristic of Gravner's uncompromising approach to winemaking. This is a wine for the adventurous collector and serious enthusiast seeking authenticity and depth.
