Natural wine is a decision, it is an invitation to consciously choose what we want to drink.
Some reasons:
Feel better: Natural wines reduce the risk of headaches and hangovers precisely because they do not contain sulphites and additives. Hard to believe? Try it yourself.
Support small producers: Sustainability and Biodiversity. Small producers focus more on quality than quantity, not only on the final product but on the entire process, taking care of the soil, the biodiversity, the vineyard, the grapes, etc. They assume more risks since they don’t use fertilizers, stabilizers, or anything that ensures that the grapes will be in “optimal” conditions. This increases the costs also. Natural wine makers dedicate themselves to this with love and passion, very few manage to make a living from it, since the competition from industrial wineries is Brutal. That’s why we have decided to support these projects.
Quality of the product: Producing less quantity means that everything that is done, in the field and in the winery can be done in an artisanal and manual way, like wine used to be produced before, it’s not a machine that selects the grapes, it is the artisan and friends or family who does it, grape by grape, removing what is not useful, avoiding to harvest when there are wasp nests, keeping the good ones in the small box and always projecting the final product when tasting, this means the quality should be higher and also the expression of the land and the soil is authentic.
Exciting aromas and flavors, no two vintages are the same: Unlike traditional winemaking, which uses a variety of additives, natural winemaking preserves the unique characteristics of the grape variety, resulting in a unique wine. Natural wines are often described as having intense, complex, and captivating flavors and textures that draw you in with every sip. No two vintages taste exactly the same for many factors, enjoy every bottle you have, it might be last time you will have the same wine.
