**Ribolla Gialla** is a white grape native to Friuli in north-eastern Italy and the neighbouring Slovenian borderlands, where it is called Rebula. It has a long regional history and has become a favourite for characterful, textured whites. **In the glass** — In a fresh style it shows citrus, green apple and white-flower aromas with crisp acidity and a stony, mineral edge. It is also a star of skin-contact 'orange' wines, where extended maceration gives amber colour, gentle grip and savoury, nutty depth. **Where it grows** — Its heartland straddles the Italy–Slovenia border, especially the Collio and Colli Orientali areas, and it is a signature grape of the region's natural and traditional winemakers. **At the table** — Fresh versions suit seafood and light pasta, while skin-contact styles handle richer, spiced and cured dishes. **Cellaring** — Crisp examples are best young, but structured and skin-contact wines can age and gain complexity over several years.
