THE WINE

The Ribolla Gialla from the Zof farm comes from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes from the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in Corno di Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a small area with a great wine tradition known worldwide. In Corno di Rosazzo, the climate, exposure, and the soil are fundamental factors for excellent wine production.

A family-run business for four generations with fifteen hectares of vineyards equally divided between white wines and red wines with native and non-native grapes. Zof has also boasted the collaboration of Donato Lanati for over ten years, the oenologist-scientist known throughout the wine world for his qualities and philosophy.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest takes place at the end of September. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, softly pressed and left to ferment in steel tanks. Both winemaking and refinement take place in steel. The first fifteen days in April following the harvest, the wine is assembled, bottled, and, left to rest for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow; the aroma is delicate and persistent with pleasant hints of apple that intertwine well with notes of lemon, leaving room for floral puffs. This native Friulian wine from the Zof winery is fresh and harmonious on the palate, well-structured with good minerality. Persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish, white meats, cheeses, and vegetable soups. Try it with shellfish.
