This Trevenezie IGT Ribolla Gialla is produced by Scarbolo in the broader Friuli‑Venezia‑Giulia area, where the variety thrives on well‑drained soils and a climate that mixes Alpine freshness with Adriatic influence. The 2018 vintage is crafted in a straightforward, stainless‑steel style to preserve purity of fruit and floral lift rather than emphasize oak or prolonged skin contact.
Hand‑harvested grapes are gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to capture delicate aromatics of flowers and fresh fruit. The wine is then kept on fine lees for a short period to round the texture while maintaining a clean, crisp profile typical of young Ribolla Gialla from the region.

Awards and Accolades
There are no available critics’ scores or published tasting notes from major international reviewers specifically for Scarbolo Ribolla Gialla Trevenezie IGT 2018. For context, Ribolla Gialla from this area is generally appreciated for offering good value with floral, citrus and apple notes and a balanced, refreshing palate, but such comments refer to the style in general rather than this exact bottling and vintage.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 8–10°C in small to medium white‑wine glasses to emphasize its floral and fruity freshness. This Ribolla Gialla pairs well with light appetizers, salads, simple seafood dishes, grilled vegetables and mild fresh cheeses, and is best enjoyed young within 3–5 years of the vintage while its delicate aromatics remain at their peak.
Technical Details
Alcohol: typical for a light Friulian white (around 12–12.5% ABV).
Residual Sugar: Dry, with its perceived softness coming from ripe fruit rather than sweetness.
Closure: Likely cork, consistent with Scarbolo’s Trevenezie IGT bottlings.
