The vines sit at 200 meters elevation on Kimmeridgian limestone and marble soils that are rocky, mineral-rich, and free-draining. Grapes are certified biodynamic and picked early to preserve freshness and keep alcohol low — a deliberate departure from the heavy, high-ABV style that Puglia is historically known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, destemmed Primitivo undergoes a 4-day skin maceration in stainless steel with no temperature control, fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered under crown cap with fewer than 30ppm of added sulfur dioxide. No oak is used at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a 10.5% ABV red that reads nothing like a typical Puglian Primitivo. The combination of early harvest, mineral limestone soils, and proximity to the Adriatic produces a wine with bright red fruit, a notable saline edge, and lean, food-friendly structure. Think of it as the crunchy, low-intervention end of the Primitivo spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valentina Passalacqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31301853872221,"sku":"VAPAPRIM18C","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/primitivo-valentina-passalacqua-apulia-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780691742","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/primitivo-valentina-passalacqua-apulia-natural-wine-primal-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
