Named for Founder Doro Princic, the Princic estate is located in the Collio DOC area of Italy’s northeastern Friuli region, one of the smallest growing areas in the country. Its white wines have been respected for many years as the very best of Italy, with three quarters of the Princic estate planted with white varietals such as Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Malvasia. These grapes are known to have the best balance of elegant aromas and full-bodied weight on the palate. The estate also produces a delicious Merlot. Today, Doro’s son Sandro heads the winery. He continues in the family tradition and Princic is known for aroma-enriching wines produced through temperature-controlled fermentation. His son Sandro and grandson Carlo are now running things. Their wines are on the more elegant refined side and all stainless steel vinification.
