Fantin Nodar Ribolla Gialla DOC 2022

Savvy Wine

Company founded in a particularly suited area of Eastern Friuli, where the gentle hills alternate between marl and sandstone soils, called "ponca" in Friulian dialect. Owned by the Ermacora family, who exclusively vinify their own grapes, making it their longstanding strength.

Production Technique:
The Ribolla Gialla vines are cultivated in the esteemed terroir of Friuli Colli Orientali, nestled in the municipality of Premariacco (Udine). With an average vine age of 25 years and a planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare, the grapes benefit from the diverse soils of marl and the region's unique microclimate. Harvested during the second and third decades of September, the grapes undergo careful destemming before undergoing cold static settling or flotation to achieve clarity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18-19 °C, using selected yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is refined in stainless steel tanks, undergoes static clarification and filtration, and ages in the bottle for three months before release.
