Ribolla Gialla
DOP FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI
This autochthonous variety of vine with white berry is known already since 1300.
The name derives from the Slovene “Rebula”, which in the Friulian dialect has become “Ribuele”. At the begging of the last century, during the Austria-Hungarian Empire, the sweet filtrates of this wine were very appreciated and esteemed, especially in the leisure classes.
Ribolla owes almost certainly its name to the high content of malic acidity, which in the past brought the wine to “ferment” (“ribollire” in Italian) in the demijohns.
