Dario Princic’s 2020 Ribolla Gialla IGT Venezia Giulia is a deeply expressive orange wine, crafted from extended skin contact and natural winemaking practices. The nose is complex and layered, with aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, chamomile, and wild herbs, underscored by hints of tea leaf, spice, and earth. On the palate, it’s textured and grippy, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity framing savory stone fruit, citrus zest, and a pronounced mineral core. The finish is long and structured, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and gentle oxidation. A bold, soulful Ribolla that speaks clearly of both grape and place.
