{"title":"Vallarom","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scienza family has farmed in Vallagarina since 1962, now in its third generation. Filippo Scienza and his wife Barbara took over the estate in 1998 from Filippo's grandparents. Upon taking the helm, Filippo immediately eliminated chemical herbicides and began transitioning away from all synthetic inputs, replacing them with copper and sulfur for phytosanitary defense. By 2004 the estate used only copper and sulfur, and Vallarom received official organic certification in 2011. The winery is also ICEA certified and BioVegan certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVallarom manages approximately 7 hectares of vineyards in Avio, farmed using the traditional Trentino pergola training system. Cover cropping, organic fertilization, and green manure techniques are used to maintain soil balance. Pest control relies on pheromone confusion traps rather than pesticides. Between the vineyard blocks, uncultivated strips are left unmanaged to support local animal habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Filippo uses only indigenous yeasts and has progressively eliminated selected yeasts, enzymes, and malolactic bacteria except in unusual vintages. Sulfur dioxide is added only when considered strictly necessary and in very small amounts. The Vadum Caesaris Pet Nat is made by the ancestral method: fermentation begins in stainless steel, the wine is bottled with a dose of unfermented grape must after approximately six months, and fermentation completes in bottle without any additives.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vadum-caesaris-pet-nat-vallarom-natural-wine","title":"Vallarom Vadum Caesaris Pet Nat 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eVadum Caesaris Pet Nat is a pétillant naturel from Vallarom, a certified organic farm in Avio, southern Trentino. The blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling is grown on calcareous-dolomitic soils in the Vallagarina IGT zone, where the Adige Valley runs between Monte Baldo and the Lessinia mountains. Vineyards sit at roughly 260 to 300 meters elevation and benefit from the daily Ora del Garda winds, which pull warm air from Lake Garda northward and moderate the alpine climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and soft-pressed, then fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel at controlled temperature. After approximately six months in tank, the wine is bottled with a small addition of unfermented grape must and completes its fermentation in bottle using the ancestral method, trapping carbon dioxide for natural effervescence. No selected yeasts, enzymes, or malolactic bacteria are used. Sulfur dioxide additions are minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a lively, hazy sparkling white with fine, gentle bubbles. On the nose: green apple, lemon peel, peach, and a hint of brioche from the lees contact. The palate is dry, crisp, and saline, with bright acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Serve well-chilled directly from the bottle; no decanting needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vallarom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40693065744583,"sku":"VALLCOLF19C","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/vallarom-vadum-caesaris-pet-nat-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185854"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/vallarom.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
