Baldoria is a natural white from winemaker Luca Bevilacqua, crafted in the Val di Sangro near Atessa in Abruzzo’s Sangro Valley. Luca, a sommelier-turned-natural-winemaker, farms indigenous varieties — Pecorino, Passerina and Cococciola — on clay soils at around 300 m elevation, aiming for approachable, drinkable wines with minimal intervention. For the 2023 vintage, the grapes see a brief skin contact before fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by around six months on lees, all bottled unfined and unfiltered with low or no added sulfur. The result is a crisp, refreshing wine with bright acidity and clean fruit character that reflects both the varietal blend and the windy, coastal-influenced terroir of Abruzzo.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
