The 2024 MDI Ribolla Gialla is a fresh and energetic expression of the classic north-eastern Italian variety, showcasing bright citrus fruit, vibrant acidity and subtle savoury texture. Crafted in a modern minimal-intervention style, the wine highlights Ribolla Gialla’s naturally crisp character while maintaining lovely purity and drinkability. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered alongside fresh herbs, citrus blossom, wet stone minerality and a delicate saline lift. There’s a lively aromatic freshness and subtle savoury edge that gives the wine plenty of personality and precision.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with crisp natural acidity, juicy citrus fruit and a clean mineral structure. Bright lemon and orchard fruit flavours are complemented by gentle herbal complexity, subtle textural weight and a refreshing saline finish. Vibrant and finely balanced in style, the wine feels zippy, refreshing and highly food friendly while still offering impressive character and detail.
