Vidussi Collio Ribolla Gialla

The 30 hectare Vidussi estate is situated in the heart of the Collio region. The guyot-trained vineyards stretch between Capriva and Cormons, just several kilometres from the Slovenian border. A range of indigenous and international varieties are cultivated here.

The winery was family-owned until 2018 when Montresor was acquired by Cevico, a co-operative group based in Emilia Romagna, with two highly regarded Veneto co-ops as co-investors. Since then, a major investment programme has transformed the company – with modern production facilities and a new winemaking team rejuvenating quality across the board, while access to high quality grapes from the Veneto co-owners has enabled some excellent new wines to be developed.

In 2021 Montresor launched its new organic project, a range of 'Montresor Bio' wines. Some of its wines are already bottled in a lighter weight glass bottle (less than 420g) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during transport, with the added benefit of reducing the amount of glass to be manufactured.

Solar panels are being installed at the winery to provide some of the electricity required in the production process; plus a water purification system to recover and recycle the water used at the winery.

Ribolla Gialla,

The Ribolla grapes are cultivated in the Podere di Spessa area of Collio, in Friuli. They are harvested in September, only in the cool teperatures of the morning.

After transportation to the winery they undergo a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in stainless steel.

This is a ripe, accessible style of the local Ribolla grape - one of Italy's most notable native white grapes. From the Vidussi estate in the Collio region, on the Slovenian border.

Fresh and aromatic with notes of guava, mandarin and hints of white spice. Bright passion fruit, lemon citrus and white flower characters on the palate, which is textural, and held together by the racy acidity and mineral notes typical of the Ribolla grape.

Great with shellfish and grilled fish dishes.
