  2020 Ribolla Gialla, Castello di Buttrio

  £2250

  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.

It is thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mt Etna for at least a thousand years.

  Occhi di Ciumi grapes are grown in a valley between the volcano and the Nebrodi Mountains, at approximately 620 metres above sea level.

The vines are grown in ash coloured volcanic soils, which are rich in minerals and fossils. The soil is permeable to air and water and is rich in pumice stone and microelements, which allow the plants to produce a complex aromatic profile.
