Label / history

The “Poderi di Carlo” brand was created to celebrate the winemaking traditions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Each wine bears the name of Carlo Primosic, founder of the family business. At the end of the 19th century, he left Collio with carts loaded with large wooden barrels in search of a better future. The name Carlo holds special significance for the Primosic family and is passed to one heir in each generation, alongside the family’s winemaking tradition.
