Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature
Portraits and interviews with the world's finest natural wine producers — farmers and winemakers who work in harmony with terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the land.
Adelina Molettieri
Aglianico vines that survived phylloxera on their own roots anchor a tiny organic estate above Montemarano, now made by young hands trained at a pioneering natural cellar.
L'Archetipo
Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto and his family farm 30 hectares in Castellaneta, Puglia using synergistic agriculture inspired by Fukuoka and Steiner, producing unfiltered, zero-sulfur wines from rare indigenous Apulian varieties.
Grifalco
On the volcanic slopes of Monte Vulture in Basilicata, the Piccin family makes only Aglianico, from organic vines up to 80 years old.
Il Cancelliere
In the high Taurasi village of Montemarano, the Romano family makes uncompromising, long-aged Aglianico from old peasant traditions and nothing but old wood.
Canlibero
Ennio Romano and Mena Iannella farm barely two hectares of Aglianico, Fiano and Falanghina in Torrecuso, making zero-zero Campanian wines that are wild, vivid and uncompromising.
