Vintage notes
In 2020, winter in Friuli-Venezia Giulia was very mild, without sharp temperature changes. Fairly dry conditions in April and May supported flowering. June was the wettest summer month, although steady air currents helped keep the vines healthy. Subsequent rainy periods alternated regularly with dry spells that were not excessively hot, allowing the grapes to retain a balance between sugar and acidity as they ripened.
Label / history
The Poderi di Carlo brand was created to celebrate the winemaking traditions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Its wines bear the name of Carlo Primosich, founder of the family business. In the late nineteenth century, he left Collio with carts carrying large wooden barrels in search of a better future. Carlo remains an important family name and is passed to an heir in each generation.
Poderi di Carlo began a partnership with Lea Winery in 2020. The SQNPI certification relates to the National Quality System for Integrated Production, whose objective is to maintain the economic efficiency of low-impact agricultural methods.
