| In vineyard | Bosco del Merlo Pinot Noir is born in Sequals, at an altitude of 270 meters at the foot of the Dolomites, in a unique terroir that enhances the quality of the grapes. The pebble-rich soil and significant temperature variations promote optimal ripening, balancing acidity and structure. This distinctive microclimate allows for the development of intense aromas and remarkable aromatic elegance. Vineyard management strictly follows the principles of sustainable viticulture, respecting the environment and fully expressing the unique characteristics of this exceptional terroir. |
|---|---|
| In cellar | The Pinot Noir undergoes fermentation with skin maceration to fully extract the grape’s potential, resulting in a wine rich in elegance and depth of flavor. The process takes place at temperatures between 13 and 15°C, with two pump-overs per day to encourage the release of polyphenols without damaging the grape skins. After alcoholic fermentation, the Pinot Noir completes malolactic fermentation, also in stainless steel, and is then aged for six months. This refinement period significantly enhances the wine’s fruity character and natural spiciness. |

What does Primont mean?
The name Primont celebrates the boxer Primo Carnera, known as “The Ambling Alp” and a native of Sequals. As Carnera used to say, “Punches start from the feet,” and the same applies to the vineyards: the Friulian soil provides the vines with essential nutrients, contributing to wines with a unique character and an unmistakable aromatic profile.
