Ribolla Gialla Tenuta Ronco dei Folo – Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari – 2023

The wine Ribolla Gialla by the Ronco Dei Folo estate

The Ribolla Gialla from Tenuta Ronco dei Folo comes from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes sourced near Prepotto in the DOC Collio region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The estate is part of the Folonari family, known for their commitment to producing high-quality Friulian white wines that are celebrated worldwide.

THE WINEMAKING

Following a strict manual harvest, the selected grapes go to the cellar for winemaking, starting with a gentle press. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. After racking, the wine ages on the lees in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then blended and bottled in the spring following the harvest. Bottles rest for a few additional months in the cellar before being released to the market.

Tasting the wine from Tenuta Ronco Dei Folo

The wine features an intense golden-yellow colour. Its nose is elegant, offering pleasant fruity hints of apple and medlar, which intertwine with aromatic spice notes like thyme, as well as subtle hints of yellow flowers. On the palate, it is very fresh—a typical characteristic of Ribolla—showcasing an excellent correspondence between its aromas and flavours.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, this Ribolla Gialla goes well with fish, fresh cheeses and white meats.
