Korsic Wine: 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐚
Giasbana, known as Jazbine in Slovenian, is the pulsating heart of Collio, and for many generations, it is here that the Korsic family has deep roots. In this unique cru, the grapes take shape and develop, and with care and dedication, they give life to the renowned Korsic wines.
A visit to the Korsic estate is not just a tasting but a journey through every phase of the meticulous production process. The experience begins among the vineyards and ends in the cellars, offering an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the company's philosophy. For those who wish to fully live this experience, Korsic Wines offers the possibility to stay just a few steps from the estate at one of the affiliated agritourisms, completing the total immersion in local wine culture.
The soil rich in ponca, a composition of layered marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, crumbles between the hands, revealing tiny fossils that nourish and enrich the vines. This peculiarity is reflected in Korsic wines, giving them a distinctive trait of minerality and salinity that makes them unique. The warm currents from the Adriatic keep the grapes dry, while the Julian Alps to the north protect them from cold currents and rain.
The climatic and geological characteristics of the territory have inspired the Collio consortium to highlight them in an innovative bottle. The unique shape not only allows for less glass and cork consumption but also features an engraving of "Collio" on the label and the consortium logo on the capsule, emphasizing the uniqueness of this wine region.
Korsic's wine portfolio includes renowned varieties such as Collio, Friulano, Malvasia, Ribolla Gialla, and Merlot. Each sip tells the story of the territory and the tireless passion of the Korsic family, a perfect blend of tradition, nature, and innovation in the heart of Collio.
