Spumante Ribolla Gialla Collezione Privata Extra Brut

Description

This is the flagship variety of our winery. It has its cradle of origin in a part of the Friuli Colli Orientali and Collio region, both Italian and Slovenian. The history of Ribolla is richly documented. The first document attesting to the existence of Ribolla wine, which was produced from different varieties, dates back to 1207. However, we have to wait several centuries before we find a document with a definite reference to the grape variety - it was 1822! Ribolla gialla has been used as a single variety for about seventy years. Initially it was only partially fermented must, today it is highly appreciated as a still dry wine and as a sparkling wine.

From this winery

• Start up year: 2016
• Oenologist: Adriano Copetti
• Bottles produced: 700.000
• Hectares: 60

The company of Valerio Civa expands visibly: more than doubled the hectares of vineyards owned (from 24 to 58) and the bottles produced (from almost 300 thousand to 700 thousand), in just one year. The ambitious project to further improve the quality of the native Friulian vines has borne fruit, moreover, this young reality - launched in 2016 - had in mind the steps to be taken to achieve significant results.

It is already clear from the aesthetic choice of the bottles, large, dark and heavy, with opulent labels: a clear signal for the consumer, who must be able to immediately perceive the quality and importance of the product.

It should not be forgotten that Valerio Civa focuses on large retailers, with its wines usually present on the shelves of Auchan and other large supermarkets, a sales area where packaging plays a fundamental role.

Another communicative choice is the 85/15 logo imprinted on the labels, which indicates wines obtained for 85% with the vine of the Denomination and for 15% with the best cultivars of the estate.

A production therefore with a well-defined target market, with a quality level that rewrites the rules of the game.

Harvest	The grapes are harvested by hand and by machine towards the beginning of September and during the coolest hours of the day.
Wine making	After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and then softly pressed. The free-run juice is then left to decant at a temperature of 8 °C for 24 hours, followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel containers. At the end of this phase, the base wine undergoes re-fermentation in autoclaves, which is completed in about 2 weeks.
Aging	The sparkling wine matures for 4-6 months in autoclaves, enriching itself with substances and aromas released by the lysis of the yeast. It is then bottled under isobaric conditions to prevent the dispersion of carbon dioxide. The wine rests for a period lying down, in the darkness and silence of our cellar before being put on the market.
Allergens	Contains sulphites
