Tasting Notes
In the glass, Masut da Rive Ribolla Gialla 2024 typically shows a pale straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, promising freshness from the first swirl. The nose is clean and inviting, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, white peach and pear, layered with delicate white flowers, acacia and a subtle hint of fresh herbs and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is dry, light to medium-bodied and vibrantly refreshing, with a lively, mouthwatering acidity that keeps each sip precise and linear. Expect flavors of citrus, crunchy orchard fruits and subtle stone-fruit tones, backed by a savory, saline minerality that is very typical of quality Ribolla from Friuli. The finish is crisp and persistent, leaving a gentle trace of citrus peel and almond. Enjoyed for its youthful verve, this wine is best within 2–4 years of the vintage to capture its full aromatic intensity and tension.

Production
Masut da Rive works in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region renowned for its cool breezes from the Alps and moderating influence from the Adriatic Sea—conditions that are ideal for preserving acidity and aromatic finesse in white grapes like Ribolla. The vines are generally grown on well-drained, mineral-rich soils that contribute to the wine’s hallmark freshness and subtle salinity. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, often by hand, to ensure meticulous selection of healthy, perfectly mature clusters. In the cellar, the Ribolla Gialla is typically gently pressed and fermented at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the grape’s delicate aromatics and pure fruit expression. The wine then rests on fine lees for a period, adding a touch of texture and complexity without sacrificing its crisp, linear profile.

Food & Serving
This Ribolla Gialla is a natural partner for seafood and light, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Try it with grilled prawns, steamed mussels, seared scallops, fritto misto, sushi and sashimi, or delicate white fish with lemon and herbs. It also pairs beautifully with fresh goat cheese, burrata with tomatoes, vegetable risottos and light antipasti platters. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its vibrant acidity and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle shortly before serving to enjoy its fresh, precise character at its best.
