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.
Novaia
Fourth-generation Vaona family estate in Marano di Valpolicella, organically certified since 2014, making Corvina-based Valpolicella, Ripasso, and Amarone with native yeasts and minimal sulfur at 250-400m elevation.
Brigaldara
On the foothills of Monte Masua, the Cesari family turns Corvina and Corvinone into Valpolicella and Amarone from a 120-hectare estate whose name dates to the twelfth century.
Giuseppe Quintarelli
Known as Bepi, the father of modern Amarone dried his grapes by three different methods and aged the wines a decade in Slavonian oak, setting Valpolicella's gold standard.
