Josko Gravner, a leading figure in the world of \u003cstrong\u003eorange wines\u003c\/strong\u003e, creates a macerated white wine that bridges ancestral tradition and contemporary vision. It is a wine that tells the story of the Collio land and its Ribolla Gialla, in an authentic, vibrant, and unconventional form.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2016 vintage of \u003cstrong\u003eVenezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla IGT 'Anfora'\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly reflects its origin: the Collio Goriziano, a hilly area between Friuli and Slovenia, characterized by marl and sandstone. Here, Ribolla Gialla, an indigenous Friulian grape variety, finds its ideal habitat, thanks to the ventilated microclimate and temperature fluctuations that give the wine balance and freshness. The grapes are harvested manually, selecting only the best bunches.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nGravner's production philosophy is based on absolute respect for the raw material. After harvesting, the grapes ferment spontaneously, in contact with the skins, in large \u003cstrong\u003eburied terracotta amphorae\u003c\/strong\u003e for about five months. This ancient and natural method favors the extraction of color, aromas, and a surprising tannic structure. This is followed by a very long aging in large oak barrels and further rest in the bottle, until it reaches perfect maturity.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eVenezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla IGT 'Anfora' 2016 - Gravner\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine that captivates with its complexity, depth, and balance, offering a new nuance to discover with every sip.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo the eye, it presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense amber color with coppery reflections\u003c\/strong\u003e, a distinctive sign of the long skin maceration. The brightness in the glass anticipates the sensory richness that characterizes it.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is broad and enveloping. Notes of dried fruit, honey, candied orange peel, and delicate spices emerge. The typical \u003cstrong\u003eoxidative hints\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting from prolonged contact with oxygen during winemaking, impart elegance and complexity, evolving over time into nuances of resin and black tea.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is surprising: structured, deep, with a \u003cstrong\u003etannicity rare for a white wine\u003c\/strong\u003e.
