Winery Profile
- Carlo Primosic, the founder, at the end of the 19th century, was supplying wine to the merchants in Vienna from Friuli. His son, Silvan, had the difficult task to revamp the winery out of the rubble of the Second World War. Silvan is still running Primosic with the aid of his two sons, Marko and Boris: the old local neighbors call them “Carlo’s people”.
- Through the years, in the search of the best orientation and the most appropriate land for each individual grape variety, Primosic wines have designed a personal and unique painting of the land, especially with his line of orange wines From Oslavia.
- Primosic produces wonderful wines with local and international grapes: Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Pinot Grigio.
