Luigi says

Serve well chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its freshness and precision. Gently invert the bottle before opening if you wish to integrate the lees and enhance texture and complexity. Alternatively, pour carefully to keep the wine clearer and more linear in style. As it opens in the glass, Ribolla Gialla gains breadth and aromatic depth while maintaining its lively, refreshing character.
