question:

What is natural wine?

A natural wine is made only with grapes and sometimes a little bit of sulfur, always respecting nature and people.

It's often organic and/or biodynamic in the vineyard, but goes beyond these certifications with nothing added in the cellar. The result is the taste of fermented fruit, a wine that reflects the winegrower and not a factory.
