Obiz, Ribolla Gialla

Obiz is part of a small village, known in the past as Lòbiz, a name derived from Tommaso Obizzi a banker from Rivo Alto in Venice and the landowner of the area in the sixteenth century. In 1878 the village was renamed Borgo Gortani by and Obiz wines were born ‘on the border between land and sea” These wines produced today are proof of this as they are born from the marriage of the earth and the sea, where the Friulian plain and the Adriatic Sea meet to create something utterly unique. White wines are characterised by a refined crispness and interesting minerality and are pleasingly persistent while the clays of the land give the reds a robust and complex character.
