Resulting from fermentation in contact with the skins, it acquires an \u003cstrong\u003eintense copper colour\u003c\/strong\u003e that hints at its sensory profile. On the nose, it opens with clear aromas of violet, raspberry and red fruits. On the palate, it proves powerful and complex, supported by warm notes that lead to a \u003cstrong\u003erich, mineral finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. This pronounced personality makes it ideal for pairing with fish soups, grilled octopus, sweet and sour Asian dishes and mature cheeses, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003ewide versatility in pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expression of Pinot Grigio originates in Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Primosic vineyards are managed according to \u003cstrong\u003esustainable principles\u003c\/strong\u003e and trained using the Guyot system. The vine roots delve into the ponca, a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003emarl and sandstone soil\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of the area, which gives the wine a pronounced savoury drive and a defined structure. The rigorous viticulture aims to enhance the \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e, reflecting in the glass the deep connection between the soil's composition and the plant's life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the destemmed grapes are placed in open vats. Fermentation begins thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, starting a maceration in which the must remains in contact with the skins for a week. This process, through gentle punch-downs, extracts colour and complexity. The wine is then separated from the skins and transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to complete the fermentation cycles, including malolactic fermentation. This is followed by several months of maturation in wood and a final ageing without \u003cstrong\u003eany sterile filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving the aromatic profile intact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1956, the \u003cstrong\u003ePrimosic\u003c\/strong\u003e winery masterfully interprets the essence of Collio Goriziano, an area of excellence where viticulture is intertwined with local history.
