Ribolla Gialla 'Opoka' Marjan Simcic 2022
Die Ribolla Gialla "Opoka" von Marjan Simcic ist ein intensiver Wein, der aus Trauben von über 60 Jahre alten Reben gewonnen wird und über 20 Monate im Holz gereift ist. Komplex in der Nase, deutlich jodhaltig und mineralisch, mit geschnittenem Gras und weißem Pfeffer. Am Gaumen zeigt er sich ausgewogen, frisch und anhaltend.
The Ribolla Gialla "Opoka" wine enchants as soon as poured into the glass with its intense golden hue edged with slight orange reflections. The nose is stunning in intensity, profoundly deep, alternating mineral bursts with toasted notes, and has a progression that stands out for its finesse and cohesion. The sip is tasty and filling, yet always reactive as it is supported by a structure made of salt and freshness. A nectar of great class, an example of how spontaneity and elegance can coexist. A must!
premise for the selection of grapes that takes place strictly by hand and with spontaneous fermentations carried out in contact with the skins for about 6 days in truncated-conical oak vats without the addition of selected yeasts. No filtration or clarification for what is a true manifesto of terroir. Before bottling, the liquid ages for 8 months in 4000-liter oak barrels and for 11 months in 500-liter oak barrels.
