Marjan Simčič Ribolla

Ribolla is a Slovene autochthonous variety (in Italy known as Ribolla Gialla), which is said to be giving the best results in the Brda region. It grows best on Brda marl soil (Opoka) under the influence of the cold wind from the Julian Alps and the mild Mediterranean climate. 

Our Ribolla, from young and middle-aged vines, is a bright pale straw-yellow wine with light gold accents. To taste, it’s clean and bright with good weight, though still with a lightness of touch. It has generous poached pear notes and a touch of acacia and wild marjoram. The finish is completed by fine acidity and a little complexity and salinity. It’s a harmonious and drinkable introduction to the Rebula grape from the Brda hills.

Food matching ideas: We recommend trying it as an aperitif in spring and summer. It can be served with white meat, seafood, and various vegetable pasta. We especially recommend it with sushi.
