Gravner 2003 Anfora Ribolla Gialla (Venezia Giulia)

Country: Italy / Anfora
Variety: Ribolla Gialla Northeastern Italy
Winery: Gravner / Venezia Giulia

There’s no other wine like this in the world, and it won’t appeal to everyone. Anfora is matured in ceramic amphorae for seven months in a throwback to ancient winemaking techniques to achieve a deep golden color and penetrating aromas of resin, caramel, chestnut honey and cola. The firmstructure could match that of a mature red and the wine imparts resinous, almost syrupy density.
