Ribolla Gialla is also known as Rebulla. It is a white wine grape that is primarily grown in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. This region is known for its exceptional winemaking traditions and produces some of the finest wines in the country. Ribolla Gialla is also cultivated in Slovenia, particularly in the Brda region, where it is highly regarded.
This grape variety is known for its unique flavors and characteristics. It produces wines that are crisp, refreshing, and vibrant, with a distinct acidity that adds a lively touch to the palate. Ribolla Gialla wines often exhibit notes of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers, which contribute to their aromatic complexity.
However, in the natural wine scene, Ribolla Gialla is often made with skin contact maceration and is very complex when in the right hands. Popular natural wine producers making skin contact Ribolla Gialla include Radikon, Nicolas Juretic, Franco Terpin, Stemberger, Gravner and Stekar.
