Solpiantez is a family-owned winery deeply rooted in the traditions of Friuli, committed to producing wines that reflect the authentic character of the region.
The Ribolla Gialla grape is known for its distinctive aromatic profile and vibrant acidity. This Solpiantez bottling is a superb example, offering a captivating bouquet of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with delicate floral notes of acacia and a subtle hint of minerality. On the palate, it's crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that dances across your tongue. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a pleasant citrusy aftertaste.
This wine is wonderfully versatile and pairs beautifully with a wide array of dishes. Its refreshing acidity makes it an excellent accompaniment to seafood, especially grilled fish or shellfish. It's also a fantastic match for salads with citrus vinaigrettes, light pasta dishes with vegetables, and creamy risotto.
