This wine, \u003cstrong\u003emacerated on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, offers an intense profile and a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering a balanced sip that elegantly accompanies fish dishes, sushi, and soft cheeses. To fully appreciate its aromatic texture and depth of flavour, it is recommended to serve at around 16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Oslavia, in the Gorizia area, at the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eCollio\u003c\/strong\u003e. Situated at 185 metres above sea level with a south-west exposure, the vineyards benefit from consistent and optimal ripening. The vines, aged between 23 and 45 years, sink their roots into Ponca, a \u003cstrong\u003emarl soil of Eocene origin\u003c\/strong\u003e. This soil composition, combined with a \u003cstrong\u003elimited yield\u003c\/strong\u003e, encourages a concentrated harvest and a clear territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in the first ten days of October. After destemming and crushing, the must spends two months in open Slavonian oak vats, undergoing both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in contact with the skins. Ageing continues for twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by ten months in stainless steel and finishes with twelve months resting in the bottle. Bottling is carried out \u003cstrong\u003ewithout filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the original substance intact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the marl terroir of Oslavia, in the \u003cstrong\u003eCollio DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e, La Castellada Ribolla Gialla 2019 embodies the authentic artisanal vocation of Friuli. The grapes, hand-picked from old vines, undergo a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-month skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e in open Slavonian oak vats. This traditional method, combined with a long ageing process in large barrels, steel and bottle, shapes a white wine of absolute depth. The absence of filtration preserves its integrity, making it perfect to elegantly accompany delicate cheeses, \u003cstrong\u003efish and shellfish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"La Castellada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45456310272171,"sku":"57919","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/la-castellada-collio-ribolla-gialla-2019_57919_1_cfd22938-0446-496a-b9be-2e3808daae41.webp?v=1773778470","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/products\/la-castellada-collio-ribolla-gialla-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
