Description
What kind of wine it is
Masut da Rive Ribolla Gialla is a still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, made exclusively from the Ribolla Gialla grape variety. Produced by a family dedicated to viticulture since the early twentieth century, it expresses a clear and rigorous profile. On the nose, it offers intense complexity, dominated by a pronounced minerality intertwined with aromas of apple, white peach, acacia flowers and hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it develops with a pleasant freshness, supported by a persistent savouriness that leads to a satisfying and harmonious finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Mariano del Friuli, in the heart of the Venezia Giulia area. In this region, the characteristics of the soil and climate give the wines a recognisable gustatory tension. Careful vineyard management allows the Masut da Rive winery to enhance the natural vocation of the area, delivering an aromatic character true to its land of origin. This precise geographical identity gives the wine remarkable longevity, allowing for an elegant evolution over time that preserves its original essence.
How it is produced
The process begins with the gentle pressing of whole grapes, a fundamental technique to preserve the aromatic integrity of the bunches. Afterwards, the must rests for static decantation at low temperatures, encouraging natural clarity. Fermentation and maturation take place in steel tanks, where the wine remains for a long time on its lees. This production choice gives structure to the palate and fixes the characteristic intense golden yellow colour, enhancing the expressiveness and freshness of the Ribolla Gialla variety.
History and Curiosities
