Rebula/Ribolla Masterclass: the VISVIK preview!

Nowadays there are several events focused on Ribolla Gialla / Rebula: from local festivities to cross-border projects up to glamorous happenings and tastings during which Ribolla pairs extraordinary dishes prepared by many famous chef.

Known since Middle Age, Ribolla is today universally acknowledged as a flag-wine of Collio and Brda, the two terroirs who gave birth to this extraordinary grape and wine along both sides of the north-east border of Italy.

Seductive, rich in freshness and “complex simplicity”, this native wine in recent years has inspired the creativity of the best winemakers from Collio and Brda, for its extraordinary versatility and capability to be interpreted and aged – both in barriques and amphoras – according to a classical approach but also in several other methods such as “orange wine” or “sparkling wine”.

The MasterClass is driven by Luca Gardini, one of the most renowned sommeliers worldwide together with Gasper Carman, representative and talented wine-expert from Slovenia. The event is held in Vila Vipolze, from August 28th to 30th, in the hearth of Slovenian Brda region, next to Collio.

This is a “can’t miss” chance for a technical debate wth 12 eminent wine-producers on the item of the interpretation of Ribolla / Rebula, but almost an extraordinary moment to present VISVIK, the Jermann’s interpretation of Ribolla Gialla: an happening both technical and “glocal”. Aboslutely glamorous!

The MasterClass is a full immersion into this extraordinary white wine, breathing the atmosphere of the on-going harvest: a rare occasion for a “live feed-back” on VISVIK from Gardini and Carman, of course.

A longtime concept stand by our project for the newborn Ribolla / Rebula. We have worked hard - as usual - to make and outstanding white wine, and VISVIK is now the outstanding interpretation of this vine, by Jermann.

Along these two days, our VISVIK will be focused, tasted and discussed together with a rare selection of other Rebula, thanks also to the technical knowledge and peculiar sensibility of Levi Dalton, master sommelier and wine consultant for top restaurants such as Daniel, Masa and Convivio in New York / Manhattan and Denis Rusjan, professor and researcher in Viticulture at the Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Ljubljiana.
