Wine maker notes Obtained exclusively from Sauvignon, a French vine cultivated in the region of Sauternes in Bordeaux, introduced into Gorizia in the mid-1800s, where it “achieved superior results to all the other white grapes that had already arrived” said Giovanni Bolle in 1891, “in the most fertile soils, deep with some clay of the hills, Sauvignon had revealed robust vegetation and a constant and regular production. ” A local farm brought it to the fair at Trieste in 1888. Isidoro and Robert Princic acquired Sauvignon in 1978 and have kept the same typology; their most recent plantings date back to 1985. “Characteristic of our Sauvignon are the perfumes, not overly intense, but on the contrary, fine and elegant” that we tend to emphasize.
Food pairing This is a wine for antipasti, prosciutto, non-meat risotto, souffle and baked vegetables and simple dishes of eggs and fish.
Producer Gradis’ciutta is the name of a rural hamlet on top of a hill in the town of San Floriano del Collio. Around this hamlet, my grandfather, Franz Princic, had his historical vineyards. Before being named Gradis’ciutta, this place was known as Monsvini, which in Latin means “the mount of wine”; the name recalls the old winemaking tradition in Collio. West of the city of Gorizia, there is a group of hills known as Collio. The Isonzo river flows through this hilly hilly stretch to the southeast, the Iudrio creek to the northwest, while to the south, Collio merges into the Friulian plain. This area is appreciated not only for its wines, but also for its fruit and olive oil. Historically, Collio has been a backdrop for skirmishes during the Great War and a border during World War II. Then in 1964, Collio became one the first wine consortiums established in Italy, and the first in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Around the world, its name is synonymous with high-quality white wines.
