Miani Ribolla Gialla Pettarin 2021

Noble rot transforms this Ribolla into something profound. Honeyed stone fruit and wet limestone dominate, while electric acidity cuts through the wine's surprising weight. The texture is almost oily, yet mineral tension keeps everything lifted and precise. Herbal complexity emerges on the long finish, showcasing how botrytis can elevate rather than mask varietal character.
