Guerra Albano
For many generations “Guerra Albano” a family winery has been producing DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli quality wines in Montina di Torreano. The vocation of this area for producing quality wines dates back to Roman times when the Centurion Taurus settled down in a district not far from Forum Julii (Cividale del Friuli). Here he founded a new town which took his name: Torreano. Dario Guerra represents the latest wine making generation at this small but quality-inspired cellar. Under his guidance wines of exceptional elegance and intensity are being crafted. This is not surprising when one considers Dario’s declared understanding of his mission: “being a winemaker is not a passing fad but rather a way of life something we feel inside us; something our parents passed on to us as part of our culture and history”.
Description
Straw yellow colour with golden tints; apple, pineapple and citrus are clearly discernible on the nose. On the palate, its mineral salinity and crisp acidity are complemented by dry, round and velvety flavours reminiscent of pear and blanched almond, with hints of pastry cream and preserved lemon.
Food Pairing
Ribolla Gialla is excellent as an aperitif or with shellfish, raw fish (sushi) and slow roasted rabbit.
