This is a very unusual wine that adheres to the Orange Wine philosophy. The 2009 Collio Ribolla Gialla seems to have absorbed all of the natural pigmentation and intensity of the the Ribolla Gialla grape and then some. It sees a prolonged two-month maceration period. The bouquet is sharply delineated and dry. Ribolla Gialla takes on extra oxidation naturally and those oxidative characteristics are even more pronounced here. Carmel, candied fruit, dusty mineral and candied orange peel are in center stage.
