Miklus Natural Art Ribolla Gialla 2015
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyPouring a glowing dark peach / amber hue, this natural ribolla gialla comes from the hills of Collio, and its layered marl and sandstone soils, known as ponca. This was was native fermented on skins (30 days) in wooden barrels, before ageing in large oak for 24 months. Pouring a hazy orange hue, this is alive with bergamot, apricot pith, wild orange, fragrant apricot blossoms on a tightly striated, medium-bodied palate. Tannins are long and fine and firm, guiding this to a spiced and amply salted finish. Amazing life for a 5 year old orange, with time ahead.Tasted: 17 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $59.95 | 750ml | consignment |
