“Wines, just like people, change over the years, but when their personalities are great they remain remarkable.”
There are good wines and unique wines. Good wines are made when their aromatic and taste components are balanced. Unique wines are those where a union between cultural and natural environment meets in an expressive and recognasible sinergy.
To make good wine is enough to be a good agronomist and a good winemaker. To make a unique wine you need to know how to listen and interpret the territory and HAVE THE work in suited zones with inspired people.
In my consulting I’m driven by the desire to put into wine not just the territory but its people as well. That’s why I collaborate with wineries that share the same thoughts and love for uniqueness.
An holistic vision, based on the idea that a great wine is made by the sum of all these elements.
