About the Producer
Ribolla Gialla is one of Friuli’s oldest indigenous vines, and enjoyed the distinction of serving as the drink of choice—under the name Rabiola del Collio—in the Republic of Venice. While virtually unknown to a modern audience, Josko Gravner authored a movement dedicated to its reclamation, endeavoring to comprehend this difficult varietal’s character and nuances over a period spanning two decades. His work with Ribolla represents the achievement of which he is most proud. In fact, this wine and the black Pignolo grape constitute the future of Gravner, as he plans to work exclusively with these two varietals following the 2010 vintage. |
