Ribolla Gialla by Damijan Podversic is obtained from pure grapes of the vine of the same name, from vineyards located on Monte Calvario. It is unanimously one of the greatest Italian white wines. Organic farming, maceration on the skins and full maturity of the grapes, spontaneous fermentation in oak vats and maceration on the skins for about 60-90 days. Refine for 36 months in barrels and then for 12 months in bottle. Bright amber color, very wide, complex bouquet, hints of ripe peach, hazelnut, aromatic herbs and citrus peel. Powerful taste. Awesome.

At just forty, Damijan Podversic can already boast an incredible experience. As a young man he began to take care of the few family vineyards, learning everything that could be learned about wine from his only teacher: Josko Gravner. To support him in the complicated management of the cellar-home is his wife Elena, who has been an absolute reference point for Damijan for years. The most important vineyards of the winery, in addition to the small plots scattered around the Collio, are located on the wooded south-facing slopes of Monte Calvario, on the outskirts of Gorizia, in an uncontaminated environment that is perfect for growing healthy and tasteful grapes.
The viticulture he practices is strictly organic, absolutely attentive to the balance and health of the plants. Damijan was good at giving life to absolutely unique wines, avoiding the use of modern and standardizing aging practices, but, on the contrary, preferring the use of natural winemaking techniques learned from master Josko. His white wines are both fermented on the skins with natural yeasts and are never put on the market unless absolutely ready to be tasted.
All these attentions to the various vinification processes make the Podversic winery surprising, capable of giving us wines of great depth, rich in the flavors and aromas of the Collio.
