This wine stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003edense structure\u003c\/strong\u003e reminiscent of a red, while still offering excellent drinkability. On the nose, it delivers complex aromas of ripe citrus, citron and candied fruit. The palate is soft and enveloping, finishing with a \u003cstrong\u003elong mineral persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it the ideal companion to enhance dishes based on fish, poultry and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis oenological expression has its roots in the hilly landscape of Brda, Slovenia. The grapes come from the crus of Medana, Jama and Jordano, from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e around sixty years old, cultivated using single Guyot training. The soils, composed of a \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and marl matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e, impart an unmistakable savoury character. Through highly precise \u003cstrong\u003eorganic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e and low yields per hectare, Marjan Simcic brings out the best of the territorial vocation of these historic slopes dedicated to great white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the October harvest, the must undergoes an \u003cstrong\u003eeight-day skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e in truncated conical oak vats, guided exclusively by indigenous yeasts. Gentle pressing initiates the maturation, which takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months and concludes with a final rest in the bottle. Offered without any filtration to preserve its straw yellow colour with \u003cstrong\u003egolden highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wine retains a soft and vibrant texture, conveying all the energy of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn among the historic hills of the Slovenian Collio (Brda), this fine \u003cstrong\u003eRibolla Gialla\u003c\/strong\u003e comes to life from ancient vines rooted in calcareous and marl soils. Since 1860, the Simčič family has practised rigorous organic viticulture in the selected parcels of the Cru Medana, Jama and Jordano. The artisanal process, using indigenous yeasts and eight days of skin maceration, gives the wine an unexpected \u003cstrong\u003echewy structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, typical of great reds. Bottled without filtration, it enchants the palate with warm, persistent and unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003emineral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marjan Simcic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546296443051,"sku":"57975","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/domaine-marjan-simcic-ribolla-cru-selection-brda-2023_57975_1_986af0aa-1409-4adc-bd93-644cb200b785.webp?v=1773778664","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/domaine-marjan-simcic-brda-cru-selection-ribolla-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
