Tonight's bottle · Deep amber, amphora-aged, contemplative orange wine
Gravner Ribolla Gialla
🇮🇹Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy · Ribolla Gialla (amphora-aged)
Six months on skins in Georgian amphora buried in the earth — Gravner doesn't make wine so much as conduct time. Deep amber, tannic like a red, tasting of dried flowers, beeswax, and something almost alchemical. The wine for the book you'll still be thinking about in ten years.
