What drives the choices of winemakers? On the one side, the aesthetic approach follows the fleeting trends that affect the taste of the public. On the other end, the ethical approach clings to the mantra of natural production and organic certification at every cost.

 

“Heretical” winemakers  prefer to shun both extremes, focusing on their choices and needs, pursuing taste and safeguarding traditional know-how and artisan winemaking, from the vineyard to the cellar.

 

As a consequence, tasting their wines is a great opportunity to try something authentic and unique that you will hardly find on the general market.

If you’re intrigued, the best occasion to discover the world of heretic winemakers is Gusto nudo (“naked taste”), the fair that brings them all together from every part of Italy. And it’s going to be next weekend!

 

From Piedmont to Sicily, all the Italian winemakers that share these values will take part to the event and present their wines to the public.
