Tasting notes

This wine is a textbook example of what extreme coastal terroir tastes like in a glass: Albarola's sharp citrus acidity meets a persistent saline, chalky minerality driven by the sandstone soils and sea-wind exposure of the Cinque Terre cliffs. The 24-day skin contact adds grip and an amber hue without overpowering the wine's characteristic freshness, keeping it lean and food-driven rather than heavy or tannic.

See here our shipping policy.

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

Possa

Azienda Agricola Possa was founded in 2004 by Samuele Heydi Bonanini in Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the Cinque Terre villages. Bonanini, who grew up in Riomaggiore and began working family vineyard plots at age fifteen, established the estate after years of selling grapes to the local cooperative. He has recovered indigenous varieties that had largely disappeared from the Cinque Terre's abandoned terraces, including Albarola, Bosco, Cannaiolo, and Bonamico.

The estate farms organically, avoiding all synthetic chemicals, and holds Triple A (Associazione dei Vignaioli Artigiani) membership. Vineyards span several parcels in Riomaggiore, including the main site at Possaitara, plus plots at Bargone, Casen di qui, Casen di là, and Val di Serra. The total area currently covers approximately 5.5 hectares between owned and leased land. Slopes require entirely manual labor; no machinery can operate on these terraces. Some cliff-side parcels are harvested by hand and the fruit transported to the winery by boat.

In the cellar, Bonanini uses spontaneous fermentation wherever possible and works with local wood traditions, using barrels of acacia, chestnut, ash, and cherry rather than conventional oak. Sulfur dioxide is used in measured amounts. For Er Giancu, grapes are destemmed, fermented on the skins for 24 days in stainless steel vats, then aged for 3 months in steel and 6 weeks in acacia and ash barriques. The wine is bottled unfiltered with no additions.

Wine region

Liguria, Italy

The Cinque Terre is a 12-kilometer stretch of the Ligurian coast in the Province of La Spezia, comprising the five villages of Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park. Vineyards here are carved into terraced cliffs held by ancient dry-stone walls, with slopes that frequently exceed 45 degrees and elevations ranging from sea level to 500 meters. Soils are primarily sandy, formed from the decomposition of mica schist and sandstone, with marine deposits. The Mediterranean climate delivers approximately 2,500 hours of sunshine annually, mild winters, and warm dry summers. The Ligurian Sea moderates temperatures year-round while the Apennines to the north shelter the vines from cold winds.

The Cinque Terre DOC was established in 1973 and covers dry white wines based on at least 40% Bosco, with Albarola and Vermentino each permitted up to 40%. The appellation is known for dry, minerally whites with a distinctly saline character, a result of salt deposits carried by sea winds onto the vines and soils. Viticulture here is designated "heroic" due to the impossibility of mechanization: every task, from pruning to harvest, is done by hand, and grapes from the lowest cliff-side rows are still transported by boat. The region also produces Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà DOC, a passito sweet wine from partially dried Bosco and Albarola. Key indigenous grapes are Bosco, which provides structure and acidity, and Albarola, which adds aromatic brightness and body.
