Discover the grape variety: Ribol
Light, simple, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy, moderately acidic palate, with undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, Ribol is an ancient variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare black grape, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.
