Tenuta Luisa Ribolla Gialla 2021

Ribolla Gialla is known as the flagship wine of Friuli Venezia Giulia, together with Friulano. The origin of the grape variety is uncertain; experts identify the Ribolla ancestor as the “Avola”, a vine introduced by the Romans during their occupation of Friuli. It is also suggested that it coincides with the “Robola ” cultivar grown in Kefalonia, which arrived in Friuli perhaps at the time of the Republic of Venice. However, most scholars consider the variety to be native to Friuli. The earliest records date back to the 12th century when the locals particularly appreciated the elegant fine wines of “Rabiola” Collio.
