Tasting notes

Still Glera is genuinely rare — nearly all of it gets made sparkling, so tasting it without bubbles reveals how much the grape actually has to say: tart white peach, green apple, a saline mineral edge from volcanic basalt and trachyte soils. The zero-sulfur, native-yeast approach from Nicola Dal Santo keeps the wine precise without any winemaking padding.

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

I Castagnucoli

Nicola Dal Santo founded I Castagnucoli in 2010 in Cinto Euganeo, in the southern part of the Colli Euganei, after a career as an archaeologist specializing in prehistory. The land was originally acquired by his parents in 1974; they farmed it organically and produced wine informally for decades, obtaining organic certification in 1994. Dal Santo took formal control of the estate and bottled the first wines in 2010.

The farm covers approximately 2.5 hectares of vineyards spread across four separate parcels with distinct terroirs — some on volcanic basalt and trachyte soils at higher elevations, others on mixed limestone and marl on lower ground. The estate also includes olive groves producing small quantities of oil from Leccino and Rasara varieties. Dal Santo maintains organic farming practices using only copper and sulfur treatments, following some biodynamic principles including attention to lunar cycles, though the estate is not currently pursuing formal certification.

Cellar work at I Castagnucoli is minimal by design. Grapes are destemmed by hand and moved without pumps. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts only. Wines are bottled without fining, without filtration, and without added sulfur. Total annual production is a few thousand bottles, varying with each harvest.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

The Colli Euganei is a cluster of roughly one hundred conical volcanic hills rising out of the Po Plain southwest of Padova, Veneto. The hills were formed by volcanic eruptions beginning approximately 43 million years ago, and the resulting soils are a heterogeneous mix of basalt, trachyte, ryolite, and latite on the upper slopes, transitioning to calcareous limestone and marl on the lower, flatter parcels. Vineyards sit between 50 and nearly 600 meters above sea level. The climate is broadly Mediterranean — dry, warm summers with day-to-night temperature swings that preserve acidity and aromatic freshness.

The Colli Euganei DOC was established in 1969 and is one of the oldest appellations in the Veneto. It covers still, sparkling, and sweet wines from both international and indigenous varieties. White grapes including Glera (called Serprina locally), Garganega, Moscato Giallo, and Tai are typically planted on cooler north-facing slopes, while south-facing exposures are reserved for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenere. The Fior d'Arancio DOCG, carved out of the DOC in 2010, covers sweet and sparkling wines from Moscato Giallo. As of July 2024, the Euganean Hills hold UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve status.
