-Winery notes
"Primarûl - the first among the first. In the Friulian language, 'Primarûl' means firstborn, progenitor, the first among the first. The first of all: the first grapes to be harvested by the founder Daniele Venica and the first must to be vinified. Friulano Doc is the most consumed white wine in Friuli, the firstborn in the heart of the people of this land. The quintessential 'taj di blanc' of the Friulians. This is the name that Gianni and Giorgio Venica, on the occasion of the company's 90th anniversary, wanted to attribute to our Friulano, in honor of the grape variety and grandfather Daniele."
