Discover the finesse of Ribolla Classic Brda, an exceptional white wine hailing from the esteemed Slovenian winery, Simcic Marjan. Crafted through meticulous single-variety vinification of 30-year-old Ribolla Gialla grapes from the prized Medana vineyard, situated 250 meters above sea level with an optimal north-west exposure.
The mineral-rich marly and sandy substrate, infused with high slate percentages, imparts a distinctive finesse to the grapes. Hand-harvested in early October with a stringent selection of the finest bunches, the grapes undergo a skin maceration for a couple of days before fermenting with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine gracefully matures on the lees within the same containers for six months, culminating in a rest of at least one month in the bottle.
Embrace the excellence of Ribolla Classic Brda, a wine that delights immediately and continues to surprise, revealing newfound nuances even after 2 or 3 years.
The Ribolla, from middle-aged vines, is light yellow, with gold accents; the bouquet is specifically soft (notes of lemon, green apple, citrus and grapefruit) and fruity. The harmony of acids, the elegant body and distinct minerality complete the taste to its excellence.
Try it as an aperitif in spring and summer. It can be served with lettuce, vegetables, asparagus, white meat, sea food, rice. We especially recommend it with sushi.
