Tunella Rjgialla 2025

La Tunella Ribolla Gialla 2025 displays a bright straw-yellow hue with elegant greenish reflections. The nose is intense and refined, featuring floral notes of acacia blossom and white flowers, complemented by yellow plum, peach, and Reinette apple, with a subtle nuance of dried fruit in the background.

On the palate, the wine is dry, intense, and full-bodied, yet possesses a supple texture that reflects the quintessential character of the Ribolla Gialla variety. The fruit flavors are juicy and mellow, supported by a lively freshness and a savory undertone that lend the wine grace and balance. The finish is pleasant and elegant, leaving a gentle aftertaste of yellow fruits.

La Tunella is a family-run estate in Friuli, established in the 1960s by "Grandpa" Min and his son Livio. Today, it is managed by Massimo and Marco Zorzettig, who have been working passionately with the Ribolla Gialla grape for over fifty years.

Ribolla Gialla—one of Friuli’s premier indigenous white grape varieties—is sourced for this wine from the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC. The grapes are hand-harvested in late September, destemmed, and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C and lasts approximately 30 to 40 days, after which the wine is bottled in February.
