Dario Prinčič 'Jak' 2020 Review
Founded in 1993 in the village of Oslavia, the Dario Prinčič winery was a pioneer in Friuli’s orange wines. This skin-contact Friulano is a great example of what skin-contact wine means in this region. It’s an absolutely beautiful wine that welcomes your senses with notes of bruised apples, fall leaves, sage, and hints of ginger, white pepper, black tea, and cardamom. The palate is extremely balanced with a viscous mouthfeel complemented by wonderful natural acidity and a grippy tannic frame. This is a great wine to enjoy with food or to throw into a decanter and marvel at its evolution.
