The Producer: Randi for Vinovore
Randi is a family-owned winery located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy and run by mother and son Giovanna and Massimo Randi. The estate has always been focused on sustainable agriculture and indigenous varietals and is now practicing certified organic farming. Vinovore is led by Coly Den Haan, who after creating and owning Downtown Los Angeles staples The Must and Perch, wanted to turn her attention to uplifting women in the male-dominated wine industry. Coly opened Vinovore, a wine shop in Silverlake, the first of its kind in the world – a shop dedicated to exclusively carrying female winemakers and/or wineries owned by women. Coly got her sommelier certification with AIS in 2006.
The Region: Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna is a region as famous for its wines as it is for its incredibly rich culinary tradition. Who hasn't tried products such as Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, Prosciutto Crudo di Parma DOP, Culatello di Zibello DOP? Who hasn't typical dishes such as Tortellini di Modena, Lasagne alla Bolognese, or Tagliatelle? It is safe to say that Emilia-Romagna set the standards for Italian culinary excellence worldwide.
Emila-Romagna is located in the northern part of Italy and is the only Italian region with traits of coast both to the east and west. Its territory is mostly flat, dominated by Italy's longest river, Po river, and by Italy's largest flatland, called Pianura Padana, the most fertile agricultural region of the peninsula.
Emilia-Romagna borders with Lombardy (north-west), Veneto (north), Marche (south), Tuscany (south-west), and Liguria (west). Bologna is the region's capital and of the Italian cities with the highest quality of life - it is also home of the oldest university in the world, founded in 1088.
In popular culture, Emilia-Romagna found new glory in recent years precisely thanks to its unmatched food culture. "Osteria Francescana", the brainchild of "poet chef" Massimo Bottura, was voted best restaurant in the world for 2016 by the World's 50 Best Restaurants' jury.
Moreover, Aziz Ansari's hit show "Master of None" is set in Modena, where Aziz (Dev) is an apprentice chef at a traditional Tortellini di Modena shop who's on a mission to try and eat each and every local delicacy he comes across.
Shipping & Returns
Stress Free Shipping
At Primal Wine we like to be transparent about everything we do. When it comes to buying products online, shipping is the most important aspect, and that’s why we take great care in shipping and handling your order using only 100% recycled packaging material.
Re-shipping
If a package gets returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee. 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.
Important Compliance Requirements
UPS and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older.
Important COVID Update
UPS and FedEx declared that in order to protect their workers and customers, they no longer require a signature on delivery. This does not mean they will drop a wine box at your door. UPS delivery workers will make sure the person receiving the wine is 21 years or older, and will ask for his/her name - only then do they deliver the package.
Shipping Rates and Options
An important premise: wine bottles are heavy – about 3 pounds each – and shipping is expensive! Primal Wine is not backed by venture capital money – we proudly are a mom and pop independent online store – and we must charge shipping on all orders, otherwise we wouldn’t be in business. However, we try our best to offer you very competitive shipping rates.
Return 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 may make arrangements for a return and refund if appropriate, and only after we receive unopened products back to our warehouse.
What is Natural Wine?
Natural winemaking has become a movement akin to a revolution, a nemesis to the industrialization and homogenization of wine in the past three decades. Natural wine producers are at the forefront of this movement, rejecting industrial winemaking techniques and the excessive use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilizers in the vineyard. Perhaps even more importantly, natural wine should be seen as an agricultural product where farming is and essential part. Farming conditions, labor rights, sustainability, and ethical practises across the supply chain are now at the center of the discourse on natural wine.
Natural Wine Main Characteristics
🍇 Natural wine is made with organically or biodynamically-farmed grapes – even though in some cases they are not certified.
👩🌾 Natural wine is made implementing ethical labor practices that respect each and everyone involved in the process.
🦠 Natural wine is made with minimal intervention in the cellar during the winemaking process. Natural wine is made with natural yeast; no industrial yeast is added to add a particular flavor to the wine.
👨🔬 Most of our wines have no added sulfites. When producers do add sulfites they do so in minimal quantities (20-25 mg/l), which don't affect the taste of the wine.
🌿 Natural wines are often bottled unfined and unfiltered and as a result, sediment collects at the bottom of the bottle. Unfined natural wine is vegan-friendly.
Why Should I Try Natural Wine?
🍷 Natural wine is probably the most fascinating wine on the market. It can be wild and funky but it always shows a strong personality. Discovering natural wines is made even more exciting by the fact that each vintage is different and has a different flavor. The non-interventionist, hands-off winemaking approach, along with organic and biodynamic best practices in the vineyards, gives wines of unique character.
