👨🏼‍🌾Red wine made by Ferdinando Principiano.

An Italian wine that practically begs you to sit down and eat. First, the color: a deep, purplish hue with a distinctly southern character. The nose is full, bursting with aromas of Burlat cherries, wild blackberries, and fresh herbs. And the palate... well, I'll give you a spoiler, but "there's real wine in it" (as they say). It's juicy and luscious, just begging for pasta with ragù, a Mortadella from Bologna, or good company.

Ferdinando Principiano is a dynamic winemaker from the Piedmont region of Italy. Having begun his career in the mid-1990s, he was initially drawn to modern winemaking methods. However, in 2004, he radically changed his approach by adopting natural viticultural practices. He eliminated the use of pesticides and chemical leavens, favoring viticulture that respects the environment and soil health. His family estate, founded in 1993 and managed by the third generation of the Principiano family, has become a model of natural viticulture. Ferdinando Principiano has banned herbicides and other chemicals, opting for minimal intervention in the cellar. This approach reflects a deep respect for the land and the winemaking traditions of the Langhe region. Ferdinando's wines, particularly his Barolos, are known for their freshness and drinkability. These characteristics are the result of his natural winemaking philosophy, which aims to produce authentic and expressive wines of the terroir. Principiano's wines are highly regarded on the international market, attracting enthusiasts and critics alike with their purity and complexity. The transition to natural practices was not without challenges. It required an adaptation of cultivation and winemaking techniques, but Ferdinando persisted, convinced of the long-term benefits for the vines, the wine, and the environment. This approach not only improved the quality of his wines, but also strengthened the sustainability of his estate.

Several sets of specifications correspond to these designations. While sulfites are very often mentioned, rightly accused of causing headaches, many other products can be included in the composition of so-called conventional wines.
Here is an overview of the different specifications for organic, biodynamic and natural products:
The organic farming specifications (AB label) prohibit the use of any synthetic chemicals in the vineyards and winery. However, they do allow for some oenological safeguards during the winemaking process. Sulfites, for example, are permitted up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for white wines.

In biodynamic winemaking (Demeter or Biodyvin certified), the winemaker not only works without synthetic chemicals but also takes the lunar calendar into account for all their operations. They also use biodynamic preparations (fermented horn manure, silica, herbal teas, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winemaker seeks to integrate viticulture into a holistic environment. Sulfite levels can reach up to 70 mg/L for red wines and 90 mg/L for white wines.

In natural wine (Vin Méthode Nature label), the specifications require the use of organic grapes, fermenting naturally with indigenous yeasts (as in biodynamic winemaking). Natural wines receive no additives during the entire vinification and aging process. Only minimal doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and these must be declared by the winemaker. No harsh filtration or alteration techniques are allowed. We also find the designation "Vins SAINS" (Healthy Wines), which aims to completely prohibit the use of sulfites.

We are committed to offering you wines from artisan producers, from small, often family-run estates. That's why we take the time to travel across France, from vineyard to vineyard, in search of those natural wines that truly resonate with us.
We are particularly keen to introduce you to the new winemakers of tomorrow who work tirelessly to offer us magnificent wines.
We want to showcase them, give them greater and clearer visibility, and support them all the way to you!
