Livon Tenuta RoncAlto Ribolla Gialla 2018
Gorizia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyThe vineyards of the Tenuta RoncAlto are located at Ruttars in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, where the soils are described as loamy, mineral marls. Bright and lively, it is all ribolla gialla. The bouquet unfolds with floral and fruity aromas reminiscent of yellow flowers, citrus, white pepper, fennel, and wet stone undertones. Rich but hardly cloying at only 13 alcohol, it is the ultimate food wine. The grapes undergo eight days of skin contact before being pressed off and clarified by natural settling. The fermentation is in stainless steel tanks, where the juice remains for eight months on its lees and then spends additional time in the bottle. It is designed for ageing 5-8 years with no problems. From fish to vegetables, it is as versatile a food wine as they come.Tasted: 19 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
