Ribolla Gialla Anfora 2013 Gravner
Gravner's Ribolla Gialla Anfora is a majestic and timeless expression of this renowned grape variety. Born in the heart of ancient Georgian amphorae, this wine has undergone a long maceration and aging in oak barrels for six years before revealing its complexity to the world. At the first sip, delicate fragrances of candied fruit, ancient pine resin, and wilted flowers emerge, weaving a captivating narrative from a tapestry of great body and profound richness.
Gravner's Ribolla Gialla goes beyond being a mere wine; it is a living monument of Collio, nestled in the picturesque village of Oslavia. Each sip unveils a unique personality, transcending any classification or preconceived scheme. Josko Gravner, the skilled artisan behind this masterpiece, works in harmony with the natural forces of the land, where plants, nature, and animals coexist harmoniously. This agricultural approach aims for biodiversity and natural balance, creating an environment where Ribolla Gialla grapes can express themselves to the fullest.
The grapes are cultivated following principles that go beyond simple organic and biodynamic guidelines. Once they reach perfect maturity and integrity, they are welcomed into Gravner's cellar, a place where the essential reigns, and spontaneous fermentation occurs in ancient Caucasian amphorae. These vessels, expertly used as amplifiers of natural transformations, allow the wine to reveal its full character and complexity.
After a prolonged maceration with the skins, the wine rests for five months in the amphorae before slowly aging for six years in large oak barrels. This extended period of rest gives the wine a unique maturity and depth, making it a true living substance in continuous evolution.
In appearance, Gravner's Ribolla Gialla Anfora presents itself with an intense amber hue, while on the nose, enveloping aromas of aromatic herbs, resin, beeswax, and candied fruit emerge, with notes of apricot, peach, and wilted flowers. On the palate, it reveals a three-dimensional body, rich and complex, supported by pleasant tannins and lively freshness that extends into a long progression, leaving a balsamic memory that evokes maritime landscapes and evergreen forests of Collio. Each sip is a journey to the highest peaks of imagination, a sensory experience that remains etched in memory.
