Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature

Nicoletta Bocca left Milan's fashion world in 1992 for Dogliani, Piedmont, where she has spent three decades championing Dolcetto as a serious, age-worthy variety from her 12-hectare biodynamic estate.

Fausto and Cinzia Cellario are third-generation Dolcetto specialists in Carrù, southern Langhe, farming 30 biodynamic hectares and vinifying exclusively indigenous Piemontese varieties with zero sulfur additions and genuine joy.

In Serralunga d'Alba, Guido Porro quietly makes classically built Barolo from old Nebbiolo vines in the Lazzarito cru, one of Barolo's great values.

An estate in Canelli tracing back to 1785, now farmed organically by siblings Alessandra and Gianluigi Bera, champions of Moscato d'Asti made without compromise.

In Italy's smallest DOC, the Scaglione family farm a WWF nature oasis in Loazzolo, reviving raisined Moscato passito alongside biodynamic Piedmontese reds.

A Ghisolfi-family Barolo estate on the Pugnane hill at Castiglione Falletto, hand-harvesting Nebbiolo for tiny-production, Slavonian-oak-aged Barolo crus.

Alessandro Gallo and Roberto Orsi make concentrated Barbera d'Asti and Dolcetto d'Acqui from a three-hectare south-facing hillside vineyard in the thermal spa town of Acqui Terme, on a hill where local legend claims the last Piedmontese witches once gathered.

Born within the impenetrable compounds where obscure vinnaturist secret societies have their quasi-mystical rendezvous, the mantra “vinocinghialo” - which can be translated as “wild boar wine”…

From the high village of Vergne above Barolo, a family that embraced organic farming in the early 1970s makes some of Piedmont's most elegant, perfumed, high-altitude Nebbiolo.

The Rovellotti family has made wine inside Ghemme's 10th-century fortified walls since the 15th century, crafting age-worthy Nebbiolo-based reds from Alto Piemonte with zero-chemical conviction.

A Serralunga d'Alba family estate where Sergio Germano makes benchmark, organically farmed Barolo plus mountain Riesling and sparkling wine from the Alta Langa.

Ferdinando Principiano farms 21 hectares biodynamically in the Barolo zone, making zero-compromise Nebbiolo that combines ecological obsession with exceptional terroir at Boscareto and Ravera.
