Gravner

Gravner

Joško Gravner is a leading winemaker in the Collio Goriziano region, on the border of Northeastern Italy and Slovenia. The winery is known for its unique, long-lasting wines, produced by ancient methods. Own vineyards cover 32 hectares. The focus is on the Ribolla variety, which accounts for 85 percent of the plantations. The varieties Pignolo, Merlot, Cabernet Franc are also grown. Production in the winery follows the lunar phases - for example, wines are bottled only during the waning moon. Large amphorae are used for fermentation, following the ancient techniques of winemaking. White wines make up about 85% of the estate's production. The wines are aged in oak barrels of various sizes for many years, so the release dates for most wines are 7 to 10 years or more from the date of harvest.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli - Venezia Giulia, a region in northeastern Italy, borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, the Adriatic Sea to the south, and the Veneto region to the west. It has an area of 3,030 square miles (7,847 square kilometers), covering the provinces of Udine, Pordenone, Gorizia, and Trieste. To the north, the dense wall of the Carnic Alps, broken only by the Monte Croce (Plöcken) pass and the low saddle of Tarvisio, forms an impressive backdrop to the valley of the Tagliamento River, the heart of Friuli. The southern part of the region is a low coastal plain, part of which is occupied by the shallow lagoons of Grado and Caorle. To the southeast, this part of the former Free Territory of Trieste, which is now an integral part of Italy, extends like a narrow corridor between the limestone plateau of Carso (Kras) and the Adriatic Sea, all the way to the city of Trieste. The region varies in terrain from rocky uplands and foothills in the north to dry or marshy lowlands in the south. The precipitation in the north - the highest in Italy - favors the development of natural pastures for livestock, and the ham and dairy products in Friuli are well-known. Now, as Italian winemakers south and west of Friuli have also mastered the art of making fresh, fruity white wines, particularly those from Alto Adige, their colleagues in Collio and Colli Orientali must try to justify their price premium, usually, but not necessarily, with greater use of small oak barrels. The standard of winemaking here is generally very high and yields are relatively low, even if the price for this is that the wines can have remarkably similar tastes.

Ribolla Gialla

Рибола Джала е древен сорт грозде, който произхожда от региона Фриули-Венеция Джулия и се отглежда още от римско време в района, където се намира, а именно на хълмовете около Розацо. В Словения и Хърватия той е известен като Ребула, а произходът му се смята, че е от южните острови на Далмация или още по на юг, чак до Кефалония, откъдето някои смятат, че е внесен във Фриули от венециански търговци в по-ново време, около 1100 г. Районът, в който се намира, обаче, е хълмистият район между Удине и Гориция, където се намират наименованията Isonzo, Collio и Friuli Colli orientali DOC, както и Rosazzo DOCG. Отлични резултати дава и „Rebula“ от Collio Sloveno. Лозата Рибола Джала никога не се е разпространявала в равнините, а предпочита сухите хълмисти терени, където дава интензивни и структурирани вина. Гроздовете на Рибола Джала са малки, цилиндрично-пирамидални и средно компактни. Гроздовете им са средно големи, леко сплескани по полюсите (дисковидни), с пруинозна, алабастровожълта ципа. Месестата част е с неутрален вкус, сладка и леко стипчива. Винифицирано като бяло вино, се получава свежо вино с постоянно жива киселинност, деликатен вкус и характерен плодов аромат. Виното е с бледожълт-сламеножълт цвят със зеленикави отблясъци, със сух, свеж и приятно парфюмиран вкус, богат на киселини и като цяло хармоничен. Идеално е за аперитив или в съчетание с ястия от сладководни и морски дарове, зеленчукови баници и полуотлежали сирена.
