Radicale

Radicale by L'Archetipo is a red wine from Puglia, Italy, made from the Primitivo grape. The wine is notable for its 'radical' approach, aiming for a fresher, more vibrant, and typically lower-alcohol expression than is common for the varietal in the region. This style is achieved through an early harvest, usually in August, to preserve acidity and limit sugar accumulation. The producer, L'Archetipo, is deeply committed to a philosophy of 'synergistic agriculture,' inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming methods. This approach involves no plowing, no chemical inputs, and fostering a diverse ecosystem within the vineyard, where vines are left untrained and grow freely. The winery is a family-run operation, with Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto and his family at its heart, dedicated to minimal intervention winemaking.
