Friuli Colli Orientali Ribolla Gialla

Oily, lemon, minerality, wet stone, short, lacking a wow factor

Softshells and Ribolla Gialla.

Awesome patio drinking, super dense, rich texture with ample freshness and juicy pear and apple notes.

Fresh, bright and oily.

There's the smell of a doobie in here.

Bright fruit, balanced tannins, relatively mild

Best white all year

Lemon curd, apples, touch of steel

At sfoglia

Some friends felt this crisp, tart ribolla a little gutless, but I'm into it's subtlety.
