The Collio Goriziano in Italy’s northeast corner of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is known for small production, high quality wines; and those from the family estate of Marko and Boris Primosic are prominent here. With two centuries as grape growers and winemakers, the family focus has always been for wines with character and soul that tell their story. “Territory, people, wine: our essence can be summarized in these three words,” says Marko. Their family vineyards are planted to indigenous vines of the region (Ribolla Gialla, Friulano and Refosco) as well as to varieties imported from France more than a century ago (such as Merlot and Chardonnay).
