Parentage of the grape: Unknown

History of the grape: This ancient Friulian variety was first mentioned in a contract from 1289. In 1402, the local city of Udine prohibited the adulteration of Ribolla by any other grape variety. Boccaccio, the author of The Decameron, specifically mentioned the grape in his diatribe against the vice of gluttony.

Friuli (or more properly Friuli Venezia Giulia) lies in Italy’s ... the ... the remaining 45% a mix of Ribolla Gialla and Malvasia. There is a great deal of selection made in the vineyards, resulting in very low yields.

Last night got a little serious. Started out simply enough with just me and a regional development consultant at a local bistro, catching up while sharing a range of starters along with a house chard and a bottle of Produttori del Barbaresco Langhe nebbiolo--always a reasoned and satisfying choice when there's no intention of getting too serious...

Okay, talk about first world problems, we had made reservations for our ... so ... ... so we went with a 2011 Ribolla Gialla from Ronchi di Cialla. Not familiar with the wine, but the grape has appealed to me, and it was in a half-bottle.It was excellent, some lemon cream notes, lots of florals, mouthwatering acidity. Hardest part was pacin...
