Grassi's Sparkling Ribolla Gialla is very expressive on the nose, with classic aromatics of yeasty brioche, pear, roasted almonds, bright white flowers, tangerine, and honey wax. On the palate the wine has a medium body with small bubbles, a nice weight and texture without being heavy, and features layers of acidity and minerality from front to back. Flavors of dried pear, mint, and bright lime with a hint of natural sweetness come to mind. The wine has a long finish carried by the outstanding acidity and the natural texture Ribolla brings, evolving in the glass over time. Enjoy now and over the next 3-5 years.

The 2021 Sparkling Ribolla Gialla is made in the classic méthode champenoise and saw five months in tank followed by 12 months in bottle on lees. It's beautifully balanced and layered, with subtle yeasty notes as well as stone fruits, medium body, a fine, subtle mousse, and a clean, classy finish.
