Doro Princic

Named for Founder Doro Princic, the Princic estate is located in the Collio DOC area of Italy’s northeastern Friuli region, one of the smallest growing areas in the country. Its white wines have been respected for many years as the very best of Italy, with three quarters of the Princic estate planted with white varietals such as Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Malvasia. These grapes are known to have the best balance of elegant aromas and full-bodied weight on the palate. The estate also produces a delicious Merlot. Pinot Grigio Collio DOC Made from 100% Pinot Grigio from the Collio region of Friuli. The grapes were harvested in fermented in stainless steel tanks under temperature-controlled conditions. The wine remained in tank until it was bottled in March/April. The aromas of this Pinot Grigio are reminiscent of peaches and apples.

Pinot Bianco Collio DOC Made from 100% Pinot Bianco from estate vineyards trained in the Guyot method. Vinification is carried out entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine is aged and refined for one year in stainless steel tanks before release.

Friulano Collio DOC Made from 100% Tocai Friulano from the Collio region. The grapes were fermented in temperature- controlled tanks. After fermentation, the wine was stabilized in tank until March when it was bottled.

Ribolla Gialla Ribolla Gialla only grows in the two DOC, Colli Orientali del Friuli (COF) and Collio as it does best in hilly and poor soil. Ribolla has been considered a great grape for many centuries, with first historic mentions in a deed of sale dated 1299. Today wines from Ribolla Gialla are made in many different styles but Princic favors the traditional one that gives delicious wines that are light in body with a refreshing crisp acidity with delicate aromas of citric fruits.

Sauvignon Blanc Collio DOC Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Collio region famous for producing aromatic wines with great depth and acidity. After the harvest the wine is fermented in stainless steel vats for a few months and then released from the winery.
