Ribolla Gialla Spumante Brut Nature

If we really don't want to give up bubbly, and Prosecco is a bit of a tight fit, this is undoubtedly a bottle to consider. Forchir is one of the most interesting contemporary producers in Friuli. The base is the region's golden grape par excellence, Ribolla Gialla, which lends itself well to being processed still and dry, or to becoming the basis of good sparkling wines. Exactly as in this case. Brut Nature, therefore without added sugar for a super dry and pleasant sip, this wine comes from grapes harvested in the company's vineyards in Codroipo, in the province of Udine. Cold maceration on the skins, soft pressing and fermentation in autoclave in the absence of sulphites. After frothing, the wine remains in contact with its noble lees for about 12 months. The result is a wine characterised by a very fine and persistent perlage and a citrine yellow colour. The nose reveals floral aromas of great freshness. In the mouth, however, it has a dry and fresh taste, with a complex and persistent finish. A perfect wine for the aperitif. But let's not make the mistake of thinking that it is not suitable for the table. Thanks to the very low (or rather zero) dosage, this sparkling wine goes well with fish dishes. Fire up the grill!
