{"product_id":"nini-e-lulu-syrah-le-coste-di-gradoli-natural-wine","title":"Lulu' Syrah 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLulù is 100% Syrah from young vines grown on volcanic soils above Lake Bolsena in Gradoli, northern Lazio, at approximately 450 meters elevation. The soils are loose and friable, derived from pyroclastic eruptions, and are rich in iron and minerals. In 2020, Le Coste produced two distinct Syrahs — Ninì and Lulù — vinified separately to express different characters. Lulù is the more structured, austere of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking follows a specific sequence: whole-bunch fermentation in a French oak vat for approximately two weeks, then hand-destemming, a further three weeks of skin maceration, and pressing directly to old barrels. The wine aged 20 months in 5-hectoliter French oak barrels, followed by six months of bottle maturation before release. No sulfites added, unfined, unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the wine offers brambly dark fruit, woody herbs, black olive, and brine. The palate is firm and structured with decisive tannin extraction, distinguishing it clearly from the lighter Ninì. The volcanic terroir adds a mineral salinity that runs through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFarming at Le Coste is certified organic and conducted according to biodynamic principles. Vines are planted at up to 10,000 plants per hectare, a mix of massale selections and ungrafted vines. All vineyard work is done by hand. No additions are made in the cellar at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Coste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39513105563847,"sku":"lecoste-lulu","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/le-coste-lulu-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186302","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/nini-e-lulu-syrah-le-coste-di-gradoli-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
