Collio Ribolla Gialla DOC “Miklus” 2015 - Draga

The Ribolla Gialla Miklus Draga is cultivated in San Floriano del Collio at an altitude of 260 meters with southern exposure on hilly terrain, consisting of layers of clayey marl and sandstone called locally “ponka”. The Ribolla Gialla Miklus Draga the late harvest is carried out at the end of September; the grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously selected, then gently de-stemmed and macerated in contact with peels for 14 days in truncated conical barrels. In these days the alcoholic fermentation begins and three times a day the manual punching operations are carried out (immersion of the skins in the must). Subsequently, the grapes are subjected to soft pressing. Ribolla Gialla Draga will be transferred to the barrels of acacia barrique, where it will remain in contact with the yeast for 4 years, then it will age in bottle for 6 months.

The wine is not filtered.

The Draga Miklus vineyards are entirely covered with grass, managed with maximum respect of the environment and especially of the consumer, without the use of herbicides.

The Draga Miklus extends around the winery in the best areas of the Collio and is divided into two plots:

• Draga: The vineyards are planted in the sunniest part at an altitude of 200 meters and have always produced excellent crops.
• Breg: The vineyards are planted at an altitude of 220 meters and surround the winery. They are also exposed to the sun but beaten by stronger winds, where the most resistant grapes find comfort.
