Gravner Description
Gravner Ribolla Gialla Friuli-Venezia Giulia 2016 is an iconic orange wine crafted by Josko Gravner, a pioneer of natural winemaking and one of the foremost champions of traditional and ancient methods in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Made from 100% Ribolla Gialla, a native grape of the region, this wine showcases Gravner's unwavering commitment to authenticity and terroir-driven winemaking. Sourced from the steep hills of Oslavia in the Collio area, the vines are grown in mineral-rich marl and sandstone soils, which impart a distinctive character to the wine. The 2016 vintage follows Gravner’s signature approach: the grapes undergo extended maceration on the skins in large Georgian amphorae, buried underground to allow for natural temperature control and slow extraction of color, tannins, and flavors. After several months of maceration, the wine is transferred to large Slavonian oak barrels for further aging, resulting in a wine of incredible complexity and depth.
