  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.

  2022 Rebula, Edi Simcic

  £2995

  Edi Simčič, one of Slovenia’s most revered family-run estates, has built an international following for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines from the rolling hills of Goriška Brda, a region often dubbed the “Tuscany of Slovenia.” Their focus on low yields, meticulous vineyard practices, and minimal intervention winemaking results in wines of depth, complexity, and authentic expression.

  In the glass, the 2022 Rebula opens with vibrant aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit, green apple, and hints of lychee and white peach. The palate is crisp and focused, marked by lively acidity and a long, saline finish underscored by stony minerality. There is a subtle depth with layers of tropical fruit and citrus framed by a clean, linear structure that speaks to careful vineyard management and thoughtful cellar work.

  Rebula, also known as Ribolla Gialla in neighbouring Italy, is an ancient white grape variety believed to have originated in the borderlands of present-day Slovenia and northeastern Italy. It thrives in the Goriška Brda region of Slovenia, an area characterised by steep hillsides, marl-rich soils, and a unique microclimate influenced by both the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Rebula is known for its high acidity, transparency to terroir, and capacity to express a wide range of styles, from fresh, zesty whites to complex, skin-contact or barrel-aged interpretations.
