Zuani Sodevo Ribolla Gialla 2023

Zuani Sodevo Ribolla Gialla is praised for its nuanced aromas of melon, peach, and cut grass, with a chalky, nutty finish. While some appreciate its clean, crisp citrus and stone notes, others find the nose imperfect with flinty reduction. It offers a smooth texture and balanced acidity, though finishes can be short. The wine is noted for its minerality and approachable nature, providing good value.

The 2021 Zuani Sodevo Ribolla Gialla presents a luminous straw-yellow hue, indicative of its vibrant character. On the nose, it unfurls a bouquet of white peach, green apple, and a hint of chamomile, underscored by a subtle minerality. The palate is a study in balance, with a crisp acidity that enlivens its medium-bodied texture. Flavors of citrus zest and almond are seamlessly integrated, leading to a clean, saline finish. This Ribolla Gialla exemplifies the varietal's potential in Friuli, offering both immediate appeal and the structure to evolve gracefully over the next few years.
