Ribolla Gialla is a white-skinned Italian grape that is also prominent and commonly planted in neighboring Slovenia, where it is known as Rebula. Ribolla has a long and rich history, with a first written reference dating to the 13th century.
It is mostly planted in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenian Goriška Brda (Gorizia). The grape is predominantly used to produce bright and fresh young dry wines with citrusy and floral notes, good acidity, and often a subtly mineral character.
Friulano is an Italian name for Sauvignonasse variety that originated in southwest France, where it was never widely cultivated. The grape is rarely seen outside Italy and is considered as one of the signature grapes in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Small amounts are found in Chile (Sauvignon Vert) and Slovenia (Zeleni Sauvignon). Friulano wines can be quite versatile and range from light-bodied to more complex examples. The wines usually have apple, pear, peach, and almond aromas. Young versions will typically have a mineral-like character.
Verduzzo is a white Italian grape that is mainly cultivated in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The name is used for two (unrelated) grapes, but it is mostly associated with Verduzzo Friulano, which can produce versatile wines of excellent quality.
The other, less common variety is Verduzzo Trevigiano, which is planted around Treviso. Verduzzo Friulano is a versatile grape that can produce a variety of wine styles. It is predominantly vinified into dry and sweet white wines that are often aromatic, complex, and have aging potential.
Dry wines range from light, refreshing and citrusy styles to full-bodied wines with honey-like notes.
This white Italian wine is produced with the fully ripe Verduzzo Friulano grapes, which are locally known as Verduzzo Giallo. The wines produced in the region are characterized by their golden yellow color, pleasant sweetness, and well-balanced acidity.
They typically display floral notes and aromas of dry apricots, nuts, and honey. Ramandolo wines are best served at the end of the meal, preferably well-chilled and paired with dry apple or almond based desserts or blue cheese.
Lison is an Italian appellation designated for the production of white wines from Friulano (also known as Tocai Friulano or Tai) variety. It is the only DOCG appellation in Italy that expands through several regions—Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia—though the main production areas are located in Venice.
These wines are typically straw yellow with fruity and floral aromas reminiscent of white fruit, linden, and chamomile, while sometimes it may also have a subtle almond aftertaste. Lison wines pair well with a variety of dishes, and they work exceptionally well with seafood, poultry, or pasta dishes.
Ribolla Gialla Venezia Giulia IGT Frizzante is a sparkling white wine produced in the Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, using the Ribolla Gialla grape variety. Known for its light, crisp, and refreshing character, it typically has flavors of citrus, white peach, reinette apple, and floral notes.
The wine is made in a frizzante (semi-sparkling) style, offering a gentle effervescence that makes it ideal as an aperitif or paired with light dishes such as seafood, salads, or soft cheeses. The IGT designation indicates its origin within the Venezia Giulia area.
These mineral-rich white Italian wines are produced in the province of Udine with Friulano as its principal grape variety, which must constitute at least 50% of the blend, while the most common additions include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Ribolla Gialla.
The region produces intense and balanced wines with a firm body and good acidity. They typically display fruity, herbaceous, and floral aromas which may develop into more intense notes of spices and dried fruit. Rosazzo wines are a perfect accompaniment to fish and seafood, as well as white meat, cheese, vegetable risottos, pasta, and ravioli.
