Give us a little insight of your journey.

My interest in wine has been with me since I was a kid. Being raised in Italian family…growing, making and drinking wine are our culture. I always have passion to learn and discover the wine….and I have found that Natural Wine is my true love

What are your thoughts on Natural wine?

Natural wine is a wine made only from grape juice fermented, nothing adding such as additives and sulfur, and nothing removing not fining neither filtration. People think that wine is made only from grapes. The truth is that there are over 50 additives that are completely legal for winemaking. I believe that the wine can communicate better it's place and vintage if those wines are made from organic grape, fermented with natural yeast and very little additions of sulfur or none at all.

How do you see Wine changing in the next 20 years considering factors of climate change and increased population?

Climate changing would be a big challenge for many wine regions in the future. Will be interesting to see how this would effect the wine production, grapes varieties and style of the wines.
