List of products by brand PRIMOSIC

The culture of the vine is a genetic heritage that has been passed down for many generations in the Primosic family. Their history, as often happens when we talk about land, vineyards and wine, is made up of proper names: names of places naturally adapted to the cultivation of grapes – Collio and Oslavia – but above all names of people who through their work have made a centuries-old tradition grow.

TERRITORY

The Primosic winery is located in Oslavia, near Gorizia, at an altitude around 190 meters, where pedoclimatic characteristics give origin to a combination that is not possible to find elsewhere, a unique microcosm in the heart of the Collio, nestled between the peaks of the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. The Collio is surrounded by the Julian Alps, that protect this area from the cold coming from Northern and Central Europe; the climate is further mitigated by action of the Adriatic Sea. The hills of the Collio are constantly ventilated by the “Bora” wind, that eliminates humidity from the air and prevents the formation of mold. The richness of Oslavia and of the Collio is the peculiar type of soil, locally called “ponca” (technically flysh), a marl-sandstone of Eocene origin, very rich in mineral sediments like iron and manganese, that allows vines to produce small quantities of high quality grapes, and that gives an unmistakable minerality to the wines from this area. Oslavia can be considered the “cradle” of the Ribolla Gialla, because the history and the tradition of this village are inextricably linked to this native grape variety. It is a variety characterized by big and juicy grapes, and by a thick skin, with a golden yellow color, very versatile: if it is vinified in stainless steel, it gives a fresh, crisp and citrusy wine; thanks to the high acidity, it gives great results if made sparkling. The skin is the true richness of the Ribolla Gialla grape: being very thick, it is perfect for maceration, and transfers to the wine its color and a rich variety of aromas and polyphenols.
