Limited production isn’t a marketing slogan. It’s a literal math problem. When vineyards are measured in single acres, production is restricted to micro-batches of just a few barrels per vintage.

Once these cases leave the cellar and enter private collections, the vault doors close permanently on the vintage.

On July 12th, Prima Materia drops their highly anticipated 2026 new release, exclusively at Local Vines. Winemaker Pietro Buttitta will personally guide you through the first tasting of small-batch wines not available at big box stores. There’s even a surprise or two waiting for you, but why spoil the surprise!

Expect first access to these limited quantity micro-batches and learn the realities of micro-wine making and why true scarcity drives quality—all delivered by the artisan who lives the experience.

Like the wines, seats are limited to ensure the personal experience. Grab your allocation now!
