Editors notes
Obtained 100% from Ribolla Gialla grape, perhaps the oldest vine in Collio, which some identify with the Evola of the ancient Romans. This vine is considered the best of all, since the siliceous marls are for Ribolla the land of preference is yellow.
On the nose, its pleasant bouquet is unmistakable, extremely varietal with aromas of citrus, apple delight and notes of cream. With the palate coming out has a fragrant entrance, with a succession of corresponding sensations which, in the finish, leave room for elegant memories of apple.
It can be enjoyed with grilled or stewed fish dishes, but also with creamy soups, for example with asparagus and mushrooms. Excellent pairing with white and meat.

Locations
Italy
Italy has some of the oldest wine production methods in the world and almost every part of the country is planted under vine. From the Alps in the north to the very southernmost parts of Sicily where Africa is almost in sight, wine is successfully cultivated. In addition to the latitude covered, Italy's many mountains and hills provide a plethora of altitudes for grape growing in various soils and micro-climates. The extensive coastlines along the peninsula that is Italy provide maritime climates for the coastal wine-growing areas. Over 350 grape varieties are 'authorised' in Italy, though up to 550 varieties are thought to be grown.
The classification system of Italian wines has four classes, with the intention of defining a wine's origin a quality. Two of these classes are table wines, whilst DOC and DOCG fall under the EU quality wine produced in a specific region category. Vino da Tavola (VDT) means that the wine comes from Italy. Most of these wines are generally basic table wines that are consumed domestically. Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) denotes a more specific region within Italy, and the resultant will be of higher quality than simple table wines, but won't conform to the rules required for higher certification. Both Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) and Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) are regionally more specific than IGT, and have stricter rules regarding the grape varieties grown, yields per hectare, minimum alcohol levels and so on. The major difference between DOC and DOCG is that the latter has to undergo a blind-tasting session to ensure the highest quality is achieved. Italy has 32 DOCG appelations, 311 DOC appelations and 120 IGT zones.
Key regions include Piedmont, Tuscany, Abruzzo, Veneto, Sicily and Sardinia. Common white varieties grown are Pinot Grigio, Arneis, Vermentino, Verdicchio, Fiano and Moscato. The red varieties grown the most are Sangiovese, Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano, Primitivo, Nero d'Avola and Corvina.
Lombardy
In north-central Italy, the wine region of Lombardy boasts 20 Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC), five five Denominazioni di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), and 13 Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) designations. It’s also home to many small, family-owned artisan wineries. The region has built a strong reputation for its ‘metodo classico’ (classic method) sparkling wines made in Brescia from Franciacorta. Lombardy also produces red wines from Nebbiolo (known locally as Chiavennasca) grapes in Valtellina, delicious Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) wines, as well as rosés in the areas surrounding Lake Garda.
