Premio Nonino Risit d’Aur—Barbatella d’Oro 2019

The Premio Nonino Risit d’Aur—Barbatella d’Oro recognized Damijan Podversic’s commitment to Ribolla Gialla, described as an ancient native variety of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and his initiation of the recovery process for viticultural land on Monte Calvario that had been abandoned since 1940. The citation characterized the work as an opportunity for research and an authentic expression of regional winegrowing. It also appealed for regional agreement on production rules for a Ribolla Gialla DOC restricted to Friuli Venezia Giulia. Giannola Nonino presented the award.
