Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.
The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry. Valentina Passalacqua

Tasting Notes
The aromatics of the grape are unmistakable and with astute farming controlling yields there is an intensity to the wine as well. Valtentina really coaxes all of the variety goodness out through a bit of skin contact and the result is a wine that is textural and skinsy with just a bit of funk to keep it interesting.
