Doro Princic: the elegance of Collio in a bottle
The Doro Princic collection gathers a selection of wines that authentically tell the story of Collio and its most refined tradition. The history of the winery has its roots in 1952, when Isidoro Princic, known to all as Doro, began bottling the first wines in Pradis, in the municipality of Cormòns, becoming one of the pioneers who believed in the potential of this extraordinary territory.
Today, the family continuity is carried on by Sandro, with the support of his son Carlo, in a reality that combines vineyard work, artisanal attention, and a coherent vision of the company style. The result is a range of essential, fine, and territorial whites, alongside carefully vinified reds, expressing a philosophy that prioritizes balance, precision, and identity.
The territory: Ponca and Collio
The heart of production is the Collio, one of the most representative areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the landscape stretches between hills, constant ventilation, and complex soils. Here, the Ponca plays a decisive role: marls and sandstones that alternate in layers capable of giving the wines finesse, sapidity, and depth. It is a terroir that particularly enhances the whites, making them recognizable for their aromatic clarity and drinkability.
The property spans about 12 hectares of cultivated land, a size that allows for careful management and a precise understanding of each parcel. It is this attention in the vineyard that makes the wines of Doro Princic an interesting choice for those seeking labels with a classic profile but never banal.
