My family has been making wine in Italy for three generations. Wine for me is directly connected to a sense of identity, the transmission of a culture through my grandfather and my father. In the vineyards I learned the values of respect for nature and for the men who work with her in harmony. For me a good bottle of wine has always been a way to reconnect with home. In London, where I have been
living and working for a decade, I just couldn’t find such wines unless I was prepared to pay the high price. After so many years of being disappointed by most of the wines I was drinking I started to question if real enjoyment could be had from wine. Refusing to give up, I spent two years travelling in Italy looking for wines that I could enjoy and bring to my friends knowing we’d share something special. Naturally, that led me to wines produced by winemakers whose respect for nature and for the consumers is at the heart of their approach to life and winemaking. Natural Vine was born.
