Primosic, Ribolla Gialla, IGT 2024

Primosic is one of the great names in Collio, that sliver of Friuli-Venezia Giulia where the hills tip into Slovenia and the soils produce some of Italy's most characterful whites. Their stainless-steel Ribolla Gialla is the purest expression of a grape that is utterly native to this corner of the world — tight, mineral, and unapologetically itself. Think white peach, lemon curd, and a chalky, saline edge that makes you reach for another glass before you've finished the first. The 2024 vintage brought cool nights and a long, dry growing season, which suits Ribolla Gialla perfectly — it needs that tension to sing. We'd drink this young and bright, ideally over the next two to three years, when the fruit is at its most vivid. Chill it properly and pour it generously.
