Borgo Conventi Ribolla Gialla 2024
The Freshness of Collio
Borgo Conventi's Ribolla Gialla 2024 is a wine that shines with vivacity and stylistic precision. Produced on soils composed of the typical "ponca" (an alternation of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin), this Ribolla best expresses the varietal character of the grape: a delicate olfactory profile and a taut, deeply mineral sip. The 2024 vintage confirms the estate's ability to enhance aromatic freshness, delivering an agile white, perfect for those seeking elegance without heaviness.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it presents a pale straw yellow with luminous greenish reflections. The nose is clean and fragrant, characterized by notes of white flowers (orange blossom and jasmine), green apple, pear, and a pleasant citrus nuance of lemon. On the palate, the attack is fresh and crisp; the distinct acidity is well balanced by an almost saline savoriness, typical of the Collio soils. The finish is subtle, dry, and very clean, with a slight mineral return that immediately invites another sip.
Philosophy and Vinification The grapes are hand-picked at perfect ripeness. After soft pressing, the free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the integrity of the primary aromas. The wine ages exclusively in steel "sur lies" (on its own yeasts) for several months before bottling. This minimalist approach guarantees terroir transparency and maximum fruit fragrance.
Food Pairings It is the ideal companion for seafood appetizers, raw fish, amberjack tartare, and fried seafood (frittura di paranza). It pairs excellently with light first courses based on vegetables or lagoon fish. Also excellent as an aperitif or paired with fresh and delicate cheeses.
