Pinot Grigio Collio DOC - Branko is born in one of the most renowned wine regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an area known for its soils rich in marl and sandstones that give the wine an elegant structure and a particular minerality.

This Pinot Grigio stands out for the refined balance between freshness and softness, typical of the grape variety. After careful vinification and controlled aging, it presents a bright straw color and delicate aromas of white flowers, pear, and light citrus notes. On the palate, it shows a pleasant sapidity and a fresh, harmonious finish, which immediately conveys the terroir of Collio.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fish dishes, shellfish, and white meats, this wine best expresses the quality and tradition of Branko, promising an elegant and gentle tasting experience.

Winery history
The Čotar family's winemaking activity has local roots: Branko began making wine for his own osmiza and, starting from small vineyards in Gorjansko, progressively built a cellar carved into the Carso. In the following years his son Vasja joined the project, and the family business consolidated as a local reference for authentic Carso wines; the transition from informal sales to structured bottling is documented in online sources around the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Production philosophy
Winemaking focused on minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentations in barrels of varying sizes, extended macerations depending on the vintage, prolonged aging in wood and no filtration; limited use of additives.
Terroir and vineyards
Carso, close to the Italian border; vineyards on soils influenced by terra rossa with the calcareous subsoil typical of the Karst.
