Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Ribolla Gialla typically shows a pale straw-yellow hue with delicate green reflections, hinting at its youthful energy and freshness. The nose is clean and inviting, with aromas of citrus blossom, lime zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with subtle notes of fresh herbs and a faint mineral edge. On the palate, expect a light to medium body with bright, zesty acidity that keeps the wine lively and refreshing from start to finish. Flavors of lemon, crisp pear, and stone fruit are joined by a saline, almost chalky minerality that adds depth and precision. The finish is clean, dry, and pleasantly mouthwatering, encouraging another sip. This 2023 vintage is best enjoyed within 2–4 years of harvest to appreciate its youthful vibrancy and aromatic purity rather than for extended cellaring.

Production
The grapes for I Magredi Ribolla Gialla IGT Venezia Giulia 2023 are sourced from estate vineyards in the gravelly plains and gently rolling sites of Friuli’s Venezia Giulia area, where cool breezes from the Alps meet the moderating influence of the Adriatic Sea. This combination of stony, well-drained soils and a marked day–night temperature contrast helps preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. The Ribolla Gialla grapes are generally harvested in the cooler hours to protect freshness, then gently pressed to avoid excessive phenolic extraction. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to retain the grape’s delicate floral and citrus notes, with the wine resting on fine lees for a short period to add texture and subtle complexity without compromising its crisp, linear profile.

Food & Serving
This Ribolla Gialla is a natural partner for light, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as grilled prawns, calamari, or simple fish dishes, as well as crudo, sushi, or ceviche where its acidity lifts delicate flavors. It also complements vegetable-based dishes, risotti with spring vegetables, light pasta with herbs and olive oil, and fresh cheeses like ricotta or young goat cheese. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its freshness; decanting is not necessary, but opening the bottle a few minutes before serving will allow the aromas to unfold.
