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
Bright golden color. Rich, intense nose which evolves minute after minute into the glass. The aromas of pear and quince reveal at the beginning giving their place to the aromas of sage, achillea and laurel afterwards. Harmonious in the mouth with a long-lasting aftertaste.
