Grape variety and vineyard

This wine is obtained exclusively from Ribolla Gialla grapes grown on the slopes of Mount Calvario, at an altitude of 140-180 metres, on Ponka (Opoka Marl/Sandstone) soil with exposure to south. Viticulture follows natural methods, without the use of chemicals, using only copper and sulfur when necessary. Damijan Podversic's production philosophy is based on biodynamic principles, which guarantee maximum respect for the environment and for the intrinsic characteristics of the vine.

Vinification and Aging

Ribolla Gialla is vinified through spontaneous fermentation in conical oak vats, with maceration on the skins lasting from 60 to 90 days. This long contact with the skins gives the wine its distinctive structure and aromatic complexity. Subsequently, the wine matures for 36 months in large 20 and 30 hectoliter barrels, and then further refines for 12 months in the bottle. This long and patient process allows the development of a rich and layered aromatic profile.

The presence of light hints of propolis honey and iodized memories adds further depth. On the palate, the wine is elegant and substantial, with a freshness and flavor that perfectly balance its powerful structure. The persistence is notable, leaving a lasting and pleasant impression.
