Fresh herbs, cut grass, almonds, pears and lemon peel. A wine that feels bestowed from Spring itself. The grapes are hand-picked in whole bunches from the Germogliano Hills, Corno di Rosazzo, Province of Udine, along the Slovenian Border. Very gentle whole bunch pressing in order to extract only the first and cleanest part of the must. Fermentation using natural yeasts, after which the wine is matured in cement for 10 months. Sustainability is core to I Clivi's ethos, they cultivate their land using organic practices for which they are certified in the vineyard. Ribolla Gialla is this region's pride and joy, a variety that’s now seriously celebrated by producers who are serious about terroir and history. This practice is consistent across Italy, as regions that were subjected to destruction during war time, or stripped of personality to placate commercial pursuit, slowly become rebuilt viticulturally.
