This field blend of indigenous Lazio varieties delivers a textured, aromatic skin-contact wine with bright acidity and a mineral backbone from the volcanic terroir. White peach, blood orange, and dried herbs define the palate. Serve at 50-54°F; no decanting required. Try with spaghetti alle vongole. Similar to a Friulian orange wine or Georgian amber, but with the brightness and iron-driven minerality unique to Lago di Bolsena's volcanic slopes.

Tasting notes

Pale gold with amber glints. The nose reveals blood orange, rose petals, ripe peach, and subtle flint. Medium-bodied on the palate with crisp acidity, flavors of apricot, citrus zest, and dried basil layered over a saline mineral thread. The finish is clean, refreshing, with gentle tannic grip.

Food pairings

Spaghetti alle vongole, grilled branzino, Roman-style artichokes, burrata, spicy Thai noodles, aged pecorino, vegetable tempura, roasted chicken.

Product description

Le Coste Bianco Orange. Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron craft Le Coste Bianco Orange 2022 at their 14-hectare biodynamic estate near Lago di Bolsena in northern Lazio. The blend draws from Procanico, Malvasia, Roscetto, Pedino, Vermentino, Romanesco, and Ansonica—ancient local varieties rooted in volcanic soils rich in iron and minerals. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and macerate on skins for two weeks. Le Coste Bianco Orange 2022 ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks, then ages five months in large oak vats. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, without added sulfites.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. 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.

Producer profile

Le Coste

Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron founded Le Coste di Gradoli in 2004, establishing one of Italy's most respected natural wine estates. The property sits in Gradoli, a small village in northern Lazio, approximately 150 kilometers north of Rome, where vineyards cascade down slopes toward Lago di Bolsena.

Gianmarco, a Lazio native, honed his winemaking skills at renowned estates in France, including time in Burgundy. Clémentine, a French agronomist, brings scientific rigor to vineyard management. Together they cultivate 14 hectares that include not only vines but also olive groves, chestnut trees, and oak forests, a polyculture approach that promotes biodiversity and ecological balance.

The estate holds organic certification and follows biodynamic principles. Vineyards are planted at high density, reaching up to 10,000 vines per hectare, which encourages deep root systems and concentration. Many parcels contain massale selections of ancient local varieties including Procanico, Roscetto, Aleatico, and Malvasia. Some vines remain ungrafted, a rarity that connects directly to pre-phylloxera viticulture.

In the cellar, located in an ancient building in Gradoli's center, Gianmarco works with absolute minimal intervention. The facility uses gravity for all movements, eliminating pumps entirely. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Wines age primarily in fiberglass tanks and large oak vats. Whole-bunch fermentation is common even for white wines. Bottling happens without fining, filtration, or added sulfites.

Le Coste has become a reference point for Italian natural wine, producing an ever-changing range that reflects both terroir and vintage character. Discover Le Coste wines, their distinctive skin-contact whites and volcanic reds.

Wine region

Lazio, Italy

Lazio stretches across central Italy from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Apennine Mountains, with Rome at its heart. Winemaking here dates to Etruscan and Roman times, making it one of Italy's oldest viticultural regions. The area produces predominantly white wines from Malvasia, Trebbiano, and indigenous varieties, though a growing natural wine movement has brought renewed attention to the region's diverse terroir.

Northern Lazio holds particular interest for natural wine enthusiasts. The volcanic hills surrounding Lago di Bolsena, Italy's largest volcanic lake, create a distinct microclimate and mineral-rich soils. The town of Gradoli sits at approximately 600 meters elevation on the lake's northern slopes. Here, iron-rich tuffaceous soils derived from ancient volcanic activity impart a distinctive mineral character to wines. The climate is neither fully Mediterranean nor continental, with cooling lake breezes moderating summer heat and allowing for slow, even ripening.

Indigenous grape varieties thrive in this environment. Procanico, the local name for Trebbiano Toscano, forms the backbone of many white wines. Roscetto, Malvasia, and other ancient varieties often grow alongside Procanico in traditional field blends. Red varieties include Aleatico, prized for both dry and sweet wines, Sangiovese, and Cesanese, perhaps Lazio's most important indigenous red grape.

The natural wine renaissance in Lazio centers on producers who farm organically or biodynamically and work with minimal intervention in the cellar. Skin-contact whites and orange wines have found particular expression here, reviving ancient winemaking techniques while showcasing volcanic terroir. Explore Lazio natural wines and discover Italian orange wines that capture the region's character. For popular selections from across Italy and beyond, browse Primal Wine's best-sellers collection.
