Damijan Ribolla Gialla 2019

On skins between 60 and 90 days. Matured in large format oak for 36 months. In bottle for 12 months before release. Sweet mustard fruits, candied nectarine, chamomile and dried billy button blooms. Bee pollen, marigold and roast pine nuts. A hint of preserved orange rind and pine resin, treacle and candied almond. There is a long line of acidity that is mature and well shaped for the weight of the wine. Baked biscuit, hazelnut skin bitterness on the finish. This is drinking in its optimum window with the lofty musk and tropical fruits opening to the savoury tones. Its textural zeal is shining. Drink now and will cellar for another 8-15 years. A wonderful wine to have with salted egg yolk or bottagra grated over spaghetti.
