Before the harvest, which usually takes place during the second and third ten days of September, the grapes are carefully selected in the vineyard. Subsequently, a gentle pressing is carried out, to then move on to alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel for about a week. The refinement takes place on the fine lees, for about 7 months in order to increase its complexity. In the glass Collio Ribolla Gialla shows a pale straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections. Elegant fruity aromas of white peach, apple and pear blend with floral aromas of rose and spring flowers to create an enveloping and seductive bouquet. An intriguing and pleasant wine on the palate; thanks to a rather acid taste, the result is a glass characterized by a remarkable freshness to be savored to the full. A versatile white that is well suited to many preparations in the kitchen including dishes based on white meats, vegetables, first courses with not too tasty sauces and fried fish. Also excellent as an aperitif wine.

In the Gorizia Collio (then Austrian Friuli) the first cuttings of Pinot bianco were brought by Count La Tour of Capriva at the end of the 19th century. The old people of the area still knew it under the name of white Burgundy, in the 1863 catalog it was mentioned with this annotation: "variety cultivated in Lestizza for more than 20 years, whose fruit gives exquisite wine". Today it is among the greatest symbols of the Collio.
The Collio hills of Eocene origin, made up mostly of marl and sandstone, are the most congenial soils to enhance the best qualitative characteristics of this grape variety. The vineyard is about 30 years old, trained according to the Guyot system with a South/South-East exposure, and is cultivated in one of the highest and most well-exposed areas of Mount Quarin and in the hills around the town of Cormons.
The harvest is done manually in the first ten days of September,
the grapes are then crushed, de-stemmed and placed in the pneumatic press, where they receive a soft pressing. The must obtained is cooled and statically decanted, in order to be able to separate the clearest part from the lees. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in 225-litre oak barriques, with aging on noble lees for 12 months.

Istrian Malvasia, also known as Friulian, occupies a prestigious position in the large Malvasia family which has rather strange and uncertain origins. It is believed that in 1300, during the rule of the Venetian Republic, the merchants of the city returning from the Peloponnese brought these vines with them. From there they spread along the entire Adriatic coast, from Dalmatia to Istria up to the Karst hills of the Gulf of Trieste and the Eocene hills of eastern Friuli.
The Collio hills of Eocene origin are made up largely of marl and sandstone, and thanks to a favorable microclimate given by the proximity of the sea, they make them one of the most suitable areas to highlight the best qualitative characteristics of this vine.
The vineyard is located in the highest areas, south/south-east of Mount Quarin in Cormons.
The harvest is done manually in the last ten days of September, the fermentation takes place on the skins at a controlled temperature for about 7 days. After racking, fermentation continues in oak tonneau, the wine obtained remains to refine on the noble lees for 12 months.
The color of the wine is a brilliant golden yellow. On the nose the scent is slightly aromatic, with spicy notes reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, embellished by a complex, floral and fruity bouquet of ripe apricot and yellow-fleshed peach, and sweet hints of candied fruit.
On the palate the taste is intense, with great sapidity and richness in the aftertaste, with a long and persistent finish. It goes perfectly with appetizers, soups in general and fish first courses, but especially shellfish and baked fish with tomatoes and potatoes.

The Sauvignon vine originates from the Gironde, near the Sauternes, in the Bordeaux region of France. It has been present in Friuli Venezia Giulia since 1800, here it was grown and produced almost exclusively on the Collio and Colli Orientali hills.
The Collio hills of Eocene origin are made up mostly of marl and sandstone. The proximity to the sea and the woods surrounding the vineyards make it a place with a perfectly fresh and breezy microclimate, which makes it one of the most suitable for exalting the qualitative characteristics of this variety in an original way. The vineyard is located in the highest areas facing east of Mount Quarin and the hills surrounding the town of Cormons.
The harvest is done manually in the first week of September
The destemmed grapes are crushed and left to macerate for about 18 hours at 10°C, the must obtained from the soft pressing is statically decanted for one day, and fermented at 16/17°C. After fermentation, the wine obtained remains on the noble lees and aged in oak tonneau for 5 months
The color in the glass is a beautiful bright shade of straw yellow, with light greenish reflections. On the nose the scent is very aromatic but not annoying, it is elegant and complex, with fruity notes of mango and passion fruit, but also of white peach, with vivid hints of sweet elderflower.
The flavor is excellent, and it is what one would expect from what this wine promises to the nose. The entrance is very balanced, with a fresh and dry flavour, with a long persistence and a marked sapidity.
It is a wine that goes well with appetizers with ham, first courses with courgettes or asparagus, shellfish and fish dishes with sauce.

The best Italian white wines
Italy is home to some of the finest white wines. In the Clickwine section of our online wine shop dedicated to the finest Italian white wines, you'll find bottles of excellent white wine carefully selected by our sommeliers.
The designations used in our country to classify wines are DOCG, DOC, and IGT. Sometimes you'll also find designations like DOP and IGP: these acronyms have similar meanings to the previous ones but are used by wineries that primarily sell their wines outside of Italy.
The production of white wine
White wines are produced from both light and dark grapes, but vinified as a white wine: that is, during maceration there is no contact between the must and the pomace, so that the skin – exactly the opposite of what happens with red wines – does not release substances and color.
Its myriad nuances vary according to the characteristics of the grape variety, the aging method and the vine growing area.
In white winemaking, once the grapes have been harvested, they are transported to the cellar, destemmed, and pressed, and the must is separated without any maceration or with a brief maceration. Sometimes, however, the grapes are pressed and then macerated with the skins at a low temperature for a varying length of time. This produces richer, smoother wines.
This phase is followed by the clarification of the white wine produced, which can be done by letting the must rest, by cooling, centrifugation or filtration.
Fermentation begins either by adding selected yeast to the must or spontaneously, using the indigenous yeasts present in the grapes. To preserve the aromas, finesse, and freshness of white wines, fermentation is carried out at lower temperatures than red winemaking, generally around 18°C.
To obtain a fresh and lively wine, best drunk young, malolactic fermentation is avoided by bottling early, after filtration and stabilization. More complex wines, aged or fermented in wood, are bottled only after several months in barrel.
How to taste white wine
First, you need to decide whether to uncork the bottle right away or let your white wine age. If you want to immediately succumb to its charm, its aromas of aromatic herbs, flint, or its notes of exotic fruit, then serve your white wine at the right temperature: 6-8°C for a young white and 8-10°C for a softer, more structured wine.
How to pair white wine
Dry white wines will surprise you at the table, too, and not just with their straw-yellow color. As an aperitif, and especially with a fish dish, white wine is definitely a must, but it's not easy to know which of the many labels will be best suited to the occasion.
We recommend pairing white wine with cheeses, whether low-fat, fresh, or rich in milk, such as flavorful buffalo mozzarella, or with soft, bloomy-rind cheeses. They're also perfect with white meats, such as classic scallops, but beyond tradition, white wine also pairs perfectly with meat and risotto dishes, as well as truffles. Visit our online wine shop Clickwine for expert advice on purchasing the best white wine at the best price to pair with your favorite dishes.

White wines: longevity and conservation
How long can I keep white wine in the cellar? Do white wines improve as they age like red wines? These are the questions a wine consumer asks when talking about white wine.
In general, white wines have a much shorter shelf life than red wines, for two reasons: tannins and aging. Tannins are antioxidants present in the wine's skins that aren't present in white wines; as for aging, however, most white wines age in stainless steel for just a few months; even red wines, if they age briefly in stainless steel and undergo rapid maceration, don't last for many years. Let's say a classic white wine aged in stainless steel lasts a maximum of 2 to 3 years. If it undergoes maceration or ages in wood, it can last up to 20 years and improve year after year.
How many types of white wines are there?
There is no exact number of types of white wine, as there are several different white grape varieties that can be used to make white wines. Some of the most common white grape varieties used to make white wines are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Moscato. There are also other less common varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Semillon, and Viognier. Each of these varieties can be used to produce white wines with unique and different characteristics, so there are many different types of white wines available.
How to recognize a good white wine?
There are several ways to recognize a good white wine. One of the simplest is to taste the wine and evaluate its flavor and aroma. A good white wine should have a pleasant flavor and a delicate, complex aroma. Other factors that can indicate the quality of a white wine include the vintage, the grape variety, and the production area. In general, white wines produced with high-quality grapes and in particularly favorable years tend to be more valuable and of higher quality. Furthermore, white wines produced in regions renowned for producing high-quality white wines can be considered more valuable than those produced in other regions.
How to understand if a white wine is good?
As mentioned above, one of the easiest ways to determine if a white wine is good is to taste it and evaluate its flavor and aroma. A good white wine should have a pleasant flavor and a delicate, complex aroma. It's also important to keep in mind that the quality of a white wine can be influenced by several factors, such as the vintage, the grape variety, and the production area. For example, white wines produced with high-quality grapes and in particularly favorable years tend to be more valuable and of higher quality. Furthermore, white wines produced in regions renowned for producing high-quality white wines may be considered more valuable than those produced in other regions.
Why is it called white wine?
White wine is so called because it is made using white grapes. Most white grapes have transparent or lightly colored skins, so the wine made from these grapes has a light, transparent color. Sometimes the color of white wine can be influenced by the type of grape used, the winemaking process, and the addition of other ingredients, but generally, white wine has a light, transparent color.
How to replace white wine?
If you want to replace white wine in a recipe, there are several ingredients you can use. One of the most common options is to use chicken or vegetable broth instead of white wine. Other options include using white vinegar or apple juice diluted with water. Additionally, in some cases, you can omit the white wine entirely and use other ingredients to achieve the desired flavor in the recipe.
