Rebula

Rebula, also known as Ribolla Gialla, is a white wine grape that is primarily grown in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy and the Brda region of Slovenia. This grape has a long history, dating back to the 13th century, and is highly regarded for its unique flavors and characteristics.

Rebula wines are known for their vibrant acidity, which gives them a refreshing and crisp taste. They often exhibit notes of green apple, citrus, and white flowers, with a hint of minerality.

In Italy, Rebula is a key grape variety in the production of Friuli's famous orange wines, which are made using extended skin contact. These wines have a distinct amber color and a rich, textured mouthfeel. In Slovenia, Rebula is often used to produce dry, aromatic white wines that showcase the grape's natural acidity and fruitiness.

Notable natural wine producers using Rebula / Ribolla include Radikon, Gravner, Nikolas Juretic, Franco Terpin and Stemberger.
