Tasting: Petrucco Ribolla Gialla


Name - Petrucco Ribolla Gialla
Variety - Ribolla Gialla
Region - Friuli
Country - Italy
Year - 2009
Price - $21; however, it was on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $7.95.

Wine Review - This well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to the creaminess and richness of its mouth feel.  In addition, the wine offers a solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant ingredients.  100% Ribolla Gialla.  This wine was rated 87  points by the Wine Enthusiast.  

Personal Review - This wine was pretty good, but I enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc that I tried before this better.  On the nose, it smelled of fruit, but the taste was not as fruity as I had expected based on the smell.  On the tongue, this wine opened with a creamier taste that turned slightly bitter in the after taste.  I would definitely drink it again; however, I would not pay the full-price of $21 for it. 

Food - I did not try this wine with food; however, it was stated that this wine would pair well with soicy Indian or Thai foods.
