This wine, with its distinctive stylistic mark, displays a bright amber yellow colour that hints at a structured and substantial profile. On the nose, it develops an \u003cstrong\u003eethereal and intense bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by clear notes of aromatic herbs and delicate hints of dried fruit. On the palate, it is deep and substantial, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft and enveloping tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that provide an almost tactile texture, leading the tasting towards a long finish with persistent minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the slopes of \u003cstrong\u003eMonte Calvario\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of Collio, a highly renowned hilly area in the province of Gorizia. The vines benefit from excellent southern exposure and grow at an altitude between one hundred and forty and one hundred and eighty metres above sea level, ensuring perfect ripening of the bunches. The distinctive element is the \u003cstrong\u003eponca\u003c\/strong\u003e, also known as opoka, a marl-sandstone soil matrix rich in stones. This particular soil gives the wine its \u003cstrong\u003emarked mineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a solid and elegant flavour profile that faithfully reflects the identity of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification involves a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e in truncated conical oak vats, lasting from sixty to ninety days. This crucial stage allows for the extraction of colour, complex structure, and tannic component. The wine then matures in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for twenty-three months, allowing the aromatic profile to fully integrate. The process is completed with a final six months of rest: the natural sediments are retained to perform an essential \u003cstrong\u003eprotective and preservative\u003c\/strong\u003e function, preserving the wine's vitality over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Ribolla Gialla from Collio DOC celebrates Damijan Podversic's artistry in natural winemaking.
