Dario Princic’s Jakot is his take on Tocai Friuliano, a grape that has a real affinity with the Collio’s Ponca soils. A long maceration and several years resting in huge old Slavonian oak casks has rendered a little masterpiece. Orange wine does not get much better than this.
Dario Princic is one of the masters of orange wine. Like so many of the regions stars, his cantina is based in Oslavia in Friuli’s Collio, where the firm ‘ponca’ soils and steep slopes produce wines of remarkable structure, power and balance that can age for decades.
