Primosic
The history of Azienda
Primosic takes root in the nineteenth century with Carlo Primosic, who, at
the end of the century, supplied traders with his wine that was
transported from the hills in the south of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire
to the capital city, Wien.
As soon as the historical traumas of the two world wars had ended in the
first half of the twentieth century, the Collio started to bloom again and
so did Primosic thus starting to bottle its own wines in 1956. The revival
came about thanks to Silvestro Primosic, who today still dedicates the
same passion to the vineyard devolpment programme, which was planned with
a view to paying the utmost attention to the territory and, in particular,
to giving value to the autochthon varieties.
With the passing of time, the winery grew and became more skilled. During
the sixties, the winery started paving its way towards well deserved
national as well as international acknowledgements for the quality of its
wine. In 1967, the tradition of the Collio that unites people, families
and wineries, brought about the establishment of the Consorzio Collio and
Silvestro Primosic is one of the first members. The "number one", the
first bottle of the Consorzio is produced by the Primosic winery and is
still today its pride and joy, valuable evidence of the winery's long
history, and of the path taken with a view to achieving quality and
respect for the land.
