Last June I
had the opportunity of visiting, with some friends (a sommelier and a wine blogger
as mad for wine as I am) a viticulture of natural wines. Yes, natural wines,
wines those go far away from the organic and biodynamic wines. Natural wines show the pure essence of
the grape in its finest: the wines are natural, natural from the vineyard to
the glass in all the processes in between, at all the stages.
The starting
point for a good wine (natural or not) are the vineyards. When we visit the Ton Rimbau’s vineyards the first
surprise was the difference between surroundings vines and vineyards, the
difference between the crop that nowadays we call “conventional” and the called
“alternative growing” (conventional in the past).
