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
Herbal and vegetal notes in the palate, with an intensive expression of bergamot and kumquat along with resin and thyme. Hints of Chios mastic at finish prove the quality of the pine resin used. Balanced acidity with a fruity and herbal feeling in the long lasting aftertaste.
