3.8
The most unlucky wine of the evening. Surrounded by Sivi by Radikon and Ribolla by Gravner, it was doomed to be forgotten in the shadows. So I don't know if the wine itself is not that good or it doesn't shine on this background, but I felt it was lacking.
Intense but calm and tired. Guache, peach, lipton tea. Fresh, round, not complex. Yet well-made and delicious.
Maybe another time.
About
The grapes for the 2012 Ribolla Gialla are fermented and macerated first in steel tanks and then in Slavonian oak for 20 days. The wine ages in a similar fashion, just in a reversed order. First, it spends 12 months in barriques and then in steel tanks.
