Product: 2020 Primosic, Skin Friulano, Collio
Friuli Venezia Giulia is the pioneering region for skin contact wine in Italy. The terms used here is “Macharati”. During the 1800s the Friuli region was the Austrian Empire’s access to the sea and so trade routes existed between Trieste and Vienna. The wine of the time was Ribolla Gialla which survived transfer along the trade routes by keeping the wine in contact with the skins. The extra contact providing more structure to protect against oxidation which is a technique used today to reduce reliance on sulphur dioxide. Primosic is an old family winery in the hills above Gorizia on your way to the Slovenian border. In fact the SP17 motorway is filled with all the top Friuli producers for this style of wine.
While the previous two wines are vinified in steel, this Friulano is fermented in oak barrels from the get go. It’s a similar amount of skin contact as the Heinrich but strictly no sulphites are used and malo-lactic conversion is enabled. This is a powerful orange style with bold yellow fruit, wildflowers and apricot kernel. The latter is amplified by the barrel maturation the wine goes through, also incorporating vanilla, cinnamon and toasted almond. Structured fish dishes or white meat do this wine justice.
