Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Furlani

Cantina Furlani sits in Vigolo Vattaro, in the province of Trento, and is run by Matteo Furlani, a fourth-generation winemaker whose family farming tradition in Trentino spans generations. In the early 2000s Matteo and his wife Annalisa took over the family plots, which had been shuttered for two decades. His father Fabio still works alongside him, and his mother Carla runs a guesthouse attached to the vineyards. Matteo studied agronomy and learned winemaking from his father and grandfather. He began making traditional-method sparkling wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 2008 before turning toward minimal-intervention still and pet-nat styles.

The estate covers roughly six hectares of small parcels set between the slopes of the Vigolana Plateau and the hills overlooking Trento, climbing to around 720 metres. Farming is biodynamic, excluding pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, building on ground that predecessors never treated with chemicals. Soils are surface clay over schist and broken granite known as sasso dolomitico, in parcels surrounding the village of Povo directly above Trento. Vines are trained in the traditional pergola trentina to aid ventilation, drying and sun exposure. Alongside Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Müller-Thurgau, Matteo cultivates native grapes including Pavana, Lagarino Bianco, Verdealbara and Negrara.

In the cellar Matteo works without added yeast, fermenting spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and no temperature control. Wines ferment in cement tanks or small glass demijohns, and many are aged in stainless steel on the lees until spring before bottling. Rackings follow lunar cycles, and to clarify the wines they are often moved into demijohns and left outside in the winter snow to settle naturally. No oak is used, and wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sulfur is avoided or held to a minimal addition, and several cuvées carry a bottle refermentation done without disgorgement or dosage.

Wine region

Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

Trentino is the southern, Italian-speaking half of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, centered on the provincial capital of Trento and the valley of the Adige River. Viticulture climbs the valley slopes and hills, with sites reaching as high as 900 metres, though most vineyards sit below 600 metres. Soils across the zone range from dolomitic limestone to clay, sand, alluvial deposits carried down by the rivers, and volcanic porphyry in valleys such as Cembra. The climate is Alpine-continental with warm, sunny days and cool nights that preserve acidity. The Dolomites shelter the valley in a rain shadow, while the warm Ora wind rising from Lake Garda to the south moderates temperatures and dries the canopy.

Trentino DOC was created in 1971 as a broad appellation covering many red and white styles from both native and international grapes across the Adige valley near Trento and the Sarca and Avisio drainages. Red wines list authorized varieties including Marzemino, Teroldego, Lagrein, Schiava, Pinot Nero, Merlot and the Cabernets, with a Riserva tier requiring higher minimum alcohol. Much production is bottled instead under the wider Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT, established in 1997, where varietal wines require a minimum 85 percent of the named grape and Marzemino and Negrara are permitted for the province of Trento. Native reds such as Marzemino tend toward floral, moderate-alcohol styles. Cantina Furlani bottles this wine outside those tiers as a Vino Rosso.
