Dario Princic Ribolla Gialla 2018
1. Introduction
This wine originates from Italy, specifically from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. The winery is located in Oslavia, a hamlet of Gorizia, in the Collio area near the border with Slovenia. Dario Princic, along with other local pioneers, was a staunch supporter of a non-interventionist approach in the vineyard and cellar, and of making white wines with skin contact to give great depth. Dario founded his winery in 1993, having worked his vineyards organically since 1988, not using any chemicals. His winemaking philosophy is based on long pellicular maceration for all his white wines, spontaneous fermentation in open vats, and aging in used wooden barrels, resulting in super-complex, intense, flavourful, and deep wines.
2. Wine Description
Dario Princic Ribolla Gialla is an emblematic orange wine that is a leading expression of his style and the Collio area.
Colour: The wine often shows a brilliant orange colour in the glass.
Aroma: The nose has notable citrus notes, especially orange and orange peel. Aromas of roasted almonds, sweet spices, apricots, herbaceous notes, and a slight sensation of hydrocarbons. Other descriptors include sweet spices, dried fruit, and apricot jam.
Palate: The wine is flavourful, mineral, and unique. The mouthfeel is held together by a tannic texture and has frank saline acidity. The 2017 vintage was described as savoury, mineral, thin in texture, balanced, and having moderate tannins.
Body: The search results do not explicitly state the body.
Finish: The search results do not explicitly state the finish.
Varietal composition: The wine is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla. The grapes are collected by hand and fermented with their native yeasts. The must remains in contact with the skins and macerates for 35 days in open wooden barrels. The wine is aged for 30 months in French oak barrels and is not filtered.
Stylistic notes: This is an exciting orange wine. It is a complex wine with delicate tannins. It has a very strong, unique character and great energy.
ABV: 12.50%
