Primosic Pinot Grigio Skin 2020

Primosic Pinot Grigio Skin 2020 is a striking orange wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, made with a week of skin contact to give it its intense copper color and layered character. Rich, mineral-driven, and decidedly not a conventional white, it offers a distinctive take on Pinot Grigio that stands apart from the usual style and should not be confused with rosé.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep copper, amber-tinged hue that immediately signals its skin-contact style. The nose is complex and expressive, with notes that suggest dried citrus peel, stone fruit, herbs, and a subtle earthy-mineral edge. On the palate, it is fuller and more structured than a typical Pinot Grigio, combining richness with freshness and a marked mineral core. The texture is broad and persistent, with plenty of depth and grip from the skin maceration. While approachable now, it should also develop additional nuance over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region known for both elegant whites and traditional skin-contact wines, this Pinot Grigio is crafted from ripe grapes fermented for about a week in open vessels with the skins. This maceration gives the wine its copper color, added structure, and more complex aromatic profile. The result is a wine that reflects both the character of the grape and the region’s long-standing affinity for distinctive, artisanal white winemaking.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to preserve its aromatic complexity and textured palate. It pairs well with richer seafood, roast poultry, aged cheeses, mushroom dishes, and flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. Decanting is not strictly necessary, but a short aeration can help open up its aromatic layers if served when young.

Producer
Primosic is a respected family producer from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, widely associated with wines that express the individuality of the region and its distinctive terroir. Known for thoughtful, terroir-driven winemaking, the estate has earned recognition for both traditional whites and more adventurous skin-contact styles like this Pinot Grigio Skin. Their work has helped showcase the depth and versatility of Friuli’s wine culture.
