Wine Au Naturel

Giampiero Bea is the president of ViniVeri (‘Real Wines’), a group of about 20 natural winemakers from all around Italy who work with the same winemaking philosophy we folk behind the Real Wine Fair also believe in. Viniveri aren’t into giving themselves strict rules and regulations because this contradicts the spirit of these ‘anarchic naturalists’, but you can read their manifesto below to get a good idea of what they stand for.  We are fortunate enough to have about half of Viniveri’s members pouring their wines at the Real Wine Fair.  Be sure to stop by and see them! A few weeks ago for the Wine au Naturel podcast, I interviewed Giampiero, who makes stunning wines at Paolo Bea, his family’s estate in Montefalco, Umbria during Viniveri’s annual wine fair, ‘Vino Vino Vino’ in Cerea, just outside of Verona.  Have a listen to what he had to say about natural wines.
