2024 Venica - Collio DOC Pinot Grigio Jesera (750ml)

On February 6th, 1930, Daniele Venica signed a preliminary purchase agreement for a farmhouse in Cerò, a location within the municipality of Dolegna del Collio, thus becoming the progenitor of the Venica family and the founder of the namesake estate. At that time, the central part of the estate consisted of approximately 10 hectares, including a rural house, a barn, vineyards, fruit trees, and surrounding arable land. Therefore, the Sauvignon "Ronco del Cerò" is a particularly significant wine for the winemakers of Dolegna, as it evokes the origins of the winery and is historically connected to four generations of the family.

-Winery notes

"Primarûl - the first among the first. In the Friulian language, 'Primarûl' means firstborn, progenitor, the first among the first. The first of all: the first grapes to be harvested by the founder Daniele Venica and the first must to be vinified. Friulano Doc is the most consumed white wine in Friuli, the firstborn in the heart of the people of this land. The quintessential 'taj di blanc' of the Friulians. This is the name that Gianni and Giorgio Venica, on the occasion of the company's 90th anniversary, wanted to attribute to our Friulano, in honor of the grape variety and grandfather Daniele."

-Winery notes

Fruity notes stand out, reminiscent of apricot and aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme. The Malvasia "Pètris" is marked by a strong mineral character. Apricot returns upon tasting. Salinity, accompanied by mineral undertones, takes the lead. Long aromatic persistence.
