The winemaking process enhances a \u003cstrong\u003epale straw yellow colour\u003c\/strong\u003e, a prelude to an inviting aromatic profile. On the nose, notes of white-fleshed fruit and Golden apple emerge, enriched by hints of broom flowers, yoghurt, and a delicate fragrance of bread crust. The palate is refined and vibrant thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003eCharmat method\u003c\/strong\u003e, which creates a dynamic perlage. This brut is ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003elean fish dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, cheeses, and starters, enhancing every flavour with great balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this sparkling wine lie in the \u003cstrong\u003evineyards of Spessa\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the province of Udine, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The rows grow at 220 metres above sea level, with north and south exposures ensuring balanced ripening and excellent flavour tension. The area, protected by the Julian Alps and tempered by breezes from the Adriatic Sea, creates an ideal microclimate for Ribolla Gialla. The soils, composed of \u003cstrong\u003eclayey ponca\u003c\/strong\u003e, a typical stratification of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, are fundamental. This geological nature gives the grapes a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, endowing the wine with authentic and territorial expressiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in September with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e and careful selection of the bunches. A twelve-hour cold maceration gently extracts the varietal aromas of Ribolla Gialla. The first fermentation takes place in steel, followed by the prise de mousse using the Charmat method. The flavour profile is broadened by \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for nine months, supported by weekly bâtonnage, which adds complexity without weighing down the palate. The cycle concludes with a brief \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e, which stabilises the sensory profile to offer a clean, dynamic, and persistent tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimum celebrates the vineyards of Spessa, where the Zorzettig winery masterfully vinifies \u003cstrong\u003eRibolla Gialla\u003c\/strong\u003e. Guardian of a Friulian tradition dating back to 1874, the company enhances vines cultivated at 220 metres above sea level in the Colli Orientali. The roots sink into the typical Eocene \u003cstrong\u003eclayey ponca\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine absolute elegance. Thanks to the expert guidance of oenologist Saverio Di Giacomo, the manual harvest at the beginning of September gives rise to a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003eVSQ sparkling wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, an authentic expression of the history and character of this exceptional land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zorzettig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47411857686699,"sku":"62239","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/zorzettig-vino-spumante-ribolla-gialla-brut-millesimato-optimum-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
