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.
Le Colture
The Ruggeri family has cultivated the steep Glera vineyards of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene for generations, crafting Prosecco Superiore DOCG that expresses the singular terroir of Italy's most celebrated sparkling wine hills.
Sommariva
Cinzia Sommariva grows 50 hectares of hand-harvested Glera on the UNESCO-listed hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, crafting Prosecco Superiore DOCG with a family-run commitment to quality and sustainability.
Caneva da Nani
On the steep Glera slopes of Guia, the Canello family makes cloudy, crown-capped col fondo Prosecco that refements in bottle and proudly sits outside the official DOC rules.
Casa Belfi
A biodynamic Prosecco pioneer in the Treviso plains, Demeter-certified, best known for its cloudy, bottle-fermented Colfondo made from 100% Glera with no disgorgement.

Carolina Gatti is one of the pioneering natural vignerons in Veneto's Prosecco country, a land otherwise given over to industrial farming. An oenology graduate devoted to the local Raboso del Piave, she pairs formal technical training with a fiercely natural approach in the cellar.
