Zorzettig
In Spessa di Cividale, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, during the early post-war years, the Zorzettig family was one of the few brave ones to invest resources and efforts in the land, the hills of Spessa, characterised by a unique microclimate and terroir. Over the years, the company's expansion also involved the house that is now located inside the company headquarters, a magical place that has become an agritourism resort that breathes centuries of rural history. The property extends over about 120 hectares of vineyards, producing about 800,000 bottles a year, 50% of which are destined for export, and a growing penetration in various markets, from Asia to the United States, from Australia to northern Europe. The company is now firmly in the hands of Annalisa Zorzettig.
Description
Zorzettig Ribolla Gialla has a straw yellow colour. Fine, mineral aromas and beautifully contoured fruit. On the nose it displays balsamic traces and clear suggestions of aromatic herbs: Wisteria, acacia flower, lime, and citrus are prominent. In the mouth it is mineral, pulpy and crunchy, with hints of golden apple and pear.
Food Pairing
Zorzettig Ribolla Gialla is extremely versatile insofar as pairings are concerned: fish appetizers, sushi, cold cuts and fritters, polenta with melted cheese, cheese fondue, paella, ravioli parmigiana, spaghetti with clams, chicken tikka masala, chicken Cacciatora, tuna veal, truffle risotto, pasta carbonara, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms.
