Sparkling Ribolla Gialla Brut Mirandolina Spolert 6 bottles

The wine Ribolla Gialla Spumantizzata Brut Mirandola from the Spolert winery

The Sparkling Ribolla Gialla of the Spolert winery is produced with 100% Ribolla Gialla. The estate with about 8 hectares of land is located in the historic village of Prepotto, between the Julian Prealps Natural Park and the Upper Adriatic Riviera.

The winery has a long history, but few years ago there has been a management change that led to an important shift of the style and the quality of the wines. Riccardo is the new young owner; he did not inherit the winery but he chose it with the aim of giving space to the winemaking tradition and to respect fully the expression of the territory.

THE WINEMAKING

The winery is very attentive to to environmental impact and sustainability, the grapes are harvested manually in boxes, in the first 15 days of September. The must is cold decanted and fermented in cement tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement takes place in concrete tanks for 10 months.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif; it goes well with cold cuts and cheeses; but also with seafood. Must try with San Daniele raw ham.

THE WINERY

We are visiting Spolert in Prepotto in the north east of Friuli Venezia Giulia. A new winery that the current owner (Riccardo Caliari) and his wife bought three years ago.

Riccardo’s main objective is to enhance the native wine and the local customs; this is the reason why he chose Spolert as the name of his winery. Spolet in the Friulian tradition was the center of the kitchen used for cooking food, but also to spread heat throughout the house. When you go to visit the winery, you will find the original splert, the one that belong to the old owners; Riccardo restored it to its splendor and now it is the leading actor of the winery… go to the winery page
