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.
Nasciri
Domenico and Francesca reclaimed a long-abandoned family property outside Gerace in 2010 to grow Calabria's ancient native grapes — Greco Bianco, Greco Nero, Calabrese Nero, Aglianico — with biodynamic principles and a name meaning 'to be born again' in the local dialect.
L'Acino
A Calabrian estate born from three friends with no wine background, now led by Dino Briglio, reviving forgotten indigenous grapes on the edge of the Pollino park.
Cantine Benvenuto
An Abruzzo-born agronomist, Giovanni Benvenuto returned to his grandfather's Calabrian land to rescue the near-extinct Zibibbo di Pizzo and champion native varieties.
Caparra & Siciliani
A historic Calabrian estate born in 1963 from two farming families, devoted almost entirely to native Gaglioppo in the Cirò appellation along the Ionian coast.
