The vines sit at roughly 200 meters above sea level, where rocky, mineral-rich soils that do not retain water push the vines to work deep and constant ventilation from the Adriatic moderates what is otherwise a hot, sun-drenched site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiano Minutolo — a distinct Puglian variety unrelated to the Campanian Fiano di Avellino, confirmed by DNA analysis in 2001 — is highly aromatic, producing wines with intense floral and stone fruit character alongside fresh citrus and herb notes. Greco adds body and structure. The grapes are hand-harvested and macerated briefly on skins before pressing, then blended in stainless steel and left on fine lees for several months without racking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is fermented with native yeasts in the estate's underground cellar, which stays naturally cool. It is unfined, unfiltered, and bottled with minimal added sulfites. The estate holds certified organic status (obtained in 1999) and is farmed biodynamically, with Valentina a member of Renaissance des Appellations since 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage carries 11.5% ABV, making it one of the lighter expressions in the Terra Minuta lineup — dry, mineral, and built for the table rather than the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valentina Passalacqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31350803562589,"sku":"VAPAMINU18C","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/terra-minuta-valentina-passalacqua-fiano-greco-white-wine-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780692587","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/terra-minuta-valentina-passalacqua-fiano-greco-white-wine-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
