2023 in Friuli was characterised by a cooler, changeable spring and a summer that was warm but not extremely dry. These conditions favoured the late-ripening Ribolla Gialla: the grapes developed a balanced sugar-acid ratio and retained their animating freshness despite being well ripe. As in the previous year, the wine comes from the single vineyard ColdeBliss, whose limestone-rich soil and hillside location allow for a particularly clear, mineral profile.

Maturation took place again in cement eggs, with longer maturation on the full lees to promote depth and structure – without fining or filtration. Pale golden yellow in colour in the glass. The aroma is reminiscent of fresh lemon, green mandarin, white tea, crushed chalk and a hint of aniseed. Delicate, taut and precise on the palate, with juicy acidity, sparse minerality and a long, citrusy finish. Compared to the warmer 2022, the 2023 is cooler at the core, even more focussed and with razor-sharp clarity – a Ribolla for purists and terroir fans that shows what modern, interpretative craftsmanship in Friuli can achieve today.
