  • From the specification: Traditional term 'Deželno vino s priznano geografsko oznako (Deželno vino PGO)': wine from fully ripe grapes; the yield limit of 12,000 l/ha is stated without saying whether it is wine or must and is recorded as wine (120 hl/ha). 20 white (Malvazija, Chardonnay, Beli pinot, Sivi pinot, Sauvignon, Rebula, Glera...) and 11 red (Refošk, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Syrah...) varieties are listed. Wines need an analytical and organoleptic assessment scoring at least 14; national law also sets minimum glycerol of 4 g/l and ash of 1.2 g/l (white), 1.4 g/l (rosé) and 1.6 g/l (red). Rosé is named only in these analytical limits. The document (file 'SPECIFIKACIJA PROIZVODA- Primorska.doc', with Primorska's area and varieties) misprints the protected name in section 1 as 'Posavje'.
