{"product_id":"simcic-marjan-cru-selection-ribolla-slovenie","title":"Simcic Marjan - Cru Selection Ribolla - 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Brda wine region in the far west of Slovenia, the Simčič Marjan estate cultivates Ribolla on steep slopes near the Italian border. The vines are rooted in marl and flysch soils, locally known as \"opoka,\" which ensure good drainage and promote slow and even ripening of the grapes. The climate is characterized by the combined influence of the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, providing sunny days, cooler nights, and natural ventilation that preserves the aromatic freshness of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRibolla grapes are hand-harvested at perfect ripeness, then destemmed before a short skin maceration. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, primarily in oak barrels, at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in oak barrels and large casks, with regular stirring to develop complexity and texture, before blending and bottling after extended cellar maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-fleshed fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus zest\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eripe apple\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches, subtle \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances, and a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003eminerality\u003c\/strong\u003e reminiscent of wet stone.
