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.
Fattoria Lornano
A Chianti Classico estate owned by the same family since 1904, where fourth-generation Nicolo Pozzoli replanted the vineyards and refocused the historic Monteriggioni property on Sangiovese.
Istine
Angela Fronti turned her family's scattered high-altitude Radda and Gaiole plots into one of Chianti Classico's most precise expressions of single-vineyard Sangiovese.
Fornacella
A small organic Montalcino estate, Fornacella farms about 2.5 hectares of Sangiovese at 300 to 400 meters and ages its Brunello for 36 months in Slavonian oak.
Pandolfa
On a 17th-century estate in Predappio, Marco Cirese farms 30 certified-organic hectares and makes mineral Romagna Sangiovese that honours the subzone's distinct clay and limestone soils.
Fattoria di Gratena
An organic Tuscan estate above Arezzo run by the Sieni family, championing native Sangiovese and the recently recognized indigenous grape Gratena Nero.
Montevertine
From a Radda hilltop at 425 metres, Martino Manetti continues the singular project his father Sergio began in 1967 — making great Sangiovese-based wines with no appellation label, no compromises, and no Trebbiano.
