Schiopetto Ribolla Gialla Venezia Giulia 2018

Ribolla Gialla has captured the affection of hipster-somms for the last few years, and it is with good reason. The wine is naturally high in acid and it gains a creaminess from the extended lees contact leading to a straw yellow color. The smells wafting out of the glass are lightly musty, with tangerine, flowers, and a cashew-like nuttyness. Due to its salty minerality and pronounced acid on the finish this is a perfect pairing for fish, mussels or pecorino orecchiette .
