About this product

Pure Friuli elegance. Luminous, delicate, and born of ancient soils.
Forchir’s Ribolla Gialla is a celebration of one of Friuli’s most historic native grapes, a wine that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression. Grown on the gravelly plains near Camino al Tagliamento, the vines draw strength from mineral-rich alluvial soils shaped by centuries of wind and river. This rugged terroir — kissed by sea breezes and cooled by Alpine air — gives Ribolla Gialla its hallmark freshness and subtle, crystalline charm.

In the glass, it reveals all the purity of Friuli: gentle floral notes, a whisper of citrus, and a fine, saline minerality that reflects its origins. Forchir’s approach is meticulous yet unpretentious — stainless-steel fermentation preserves the grape’s natural brightness, allowing its understated complexity to shine. It’s a wine that feels effortlessly refined, the kind of bottle that elevates any table without needing to announce itself.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Forchir Ribolla Gialla is a revelation — a light yet characterful white that pairs beautifully with Ireland’s seafood and modern cuisine, delivering a taste of Friuli’s authenticity in every sip.

Why we love it:
There’s a quiet magic in Ribolla Gialla. It doesn’t overwhelm — it enchants. Forchir’s version is all about balance and finesse, offering a delicate structure, soft fruit, and mouthwatering minerality. It’s refreshingly versatile, ideal for long lunches, seafood suppers, or elegant aperitifs. A white that embodies both nature and restraint — unmistakably Italian, yet perfectly at home in Ireland.
