{"product_id":"rosso-gravner-natural-wine-primal-wine","title":"Rosso Gravner 2010","description":"\u003cp\u003eRosso Gravner is a blend of approximately 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines planted in the early 1960s in Oslavia, a hamlet of roughly 640 people in the Collio Goriziano hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, less than 200 meters from the Slovenian border. The wine is labeled Venezia Giulia IGT because Gravner's winemaking does not conform to DOC Collio production rules. Soils are ponca, a layered marine marl and sandstone approximately 45 million years old that provides drainage and mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes fermented on the skins in beeswax-lined Georgian qvevri — terracotta vessels holding between 1,300 and 2,400 liters — buried in the cellar floor for over four weeks. No selected yeasts, no temperature control, no additions beyond minimal sulfur. After fermentation the wine spent four years aging in large, well-used Slavonian oak barrels before being bottled without fining or filtration in September 2014 on a waning moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosso Gravner is now a discontinued wine. Josko Gravner phased out international varieties including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon after 2012, redirecting the estate's focus entirely to indigenous grapes — Ribolla Gialla for whites and Pignolo for reds. The 2010 vintage is among the last produced under this label, making it a document of a specific and now-closed chapter at one of Italy's most influential estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGravner farms 15 hectares of vines across three parcels — Runk in Italy (planted 1901), Hum and Dedno in Slovenia — following organic and biodynamic practices without Demeter certification. The estate produces between 22,000 and 30,000 bottles per year across all wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gravner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37975405068487,"sku":"GRAVROSS10H","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/gravner-rosso-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1610062539","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/rosso-gravner-natural-wine-primal-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
