Castello di Buttrio

2020 Ribolla Gialla, Castello di Buttrio

Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyVintage: 2020

Alessandra Felluga produces stunning, modern and authentic wines from old vines on her beautiful estate.

Ribolla Gialla is an ancient white variety from northern Italy that can be traced back to the 13th century and to the province of the Colli Orientali del Friuli.

In the glass, this Ribolla Gialla is vibrant and characteristically fresh, offering marked minerality with complementing citrussy notes through to a stylish finish.

The Castello di Buttrio vineyard is situated on the hillside slopes at 142 metres above sea level, which ensures excellent air circulation to keep the vines healthy. The Ribolla Gialla vines range from 10 to 60 years in age and are planted in soils that are made up of layers of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, known locally as ‘ponca’ in Friulian, which contains marine fossils originating from the Adriatic Sea. This soil produces textured and concentrated wines which are balanced by cutting acidity, thanks to the soil’s high pH and cool temperature.

Description

Castello di Buttrio is located in Fruili Colli Orientali, and has been home to five generations of winemakers. In 1994, local legend Marco Felluga purchased the property and began the restoration of the castle and the historic vineyards, a project which is being carried on with dedication and determination by his daughter Alessandra and his granddaughters. Surrounding the castle, the vines cover 10 hectares and are immaculately laid out along the hillside amphitheatres, which frame the undulating hills. The estate comprises parcels of old vines, dating back to the 1930s, 1940s and the early 1950s, which are planted with indigenous varietals, representing the historical traditions of Fruili and the heritage of the estate. Blending tradition with innovation, Alessandra produces stunningly, modern and authentic wines which are exquisitely packaged and offer a taste of this spectacular estate.

The grapes were gently pressed and the press and free run juices were separated. The must was settled at 14°C for 24 to 36 hours before being fermented at controlled temperatures of 18 to 20°C with selected yeasts. The wine spent six to eight months on the fermentation lees, which were kept in suspension with period stirring, imparting texture and flavour.
