ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Daniele Piccinin started not as a winemaker but as a restaurateur. It was during this time that he tasted a wine made by Angiolino Maule (president of VinNatur) that so impressed him that he eventually became his pupil. Daniele now cultivates seven hectares of vines in San Giovanni Ilarione, in the province of Verona.

Daniele’s goal is to respect nature. It’s an approach he takes to both his viticulture but adopts in the cellar. There is no filtration, nor clarification. His winemaking relies on slow, spontaneous fermentation, with only a small amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
