And it is not so ugly in my opinion.<br /><br />I've drunk your wine - think I heard of it through Alice Feiring's blog, but I found it in Los Angeles (Domaine LA) and it is so delicious. So much character. One of the bottles (sorry I forget which one) was out of this world.<br /><br />Glad you are out there in the world stomping on grapes, cheers!Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003799659416268091.post-24876859004702917832014-10-08T10:45:41.455+02:002014-10-08T10:45:41.455+02:00Hi Fabio,

In addition to this, how many classical (and lovely!) wines do we all know with ugly labels, full of no sense and no information at all? Zillons! and in spite of this they're lovely wines.<br /><br />Anyway, some days ago I remember something that comes to my mind every other time: Theise Manifesto. It obviously apply to wine, but I try to apply to everything in life:<br /><br />Beauty is more important than impact.<br /><br />Harmony is more important than intensity.<br /><br />The whole of any wine must always be more than the sum of its parts.<br /><br />Distinctiveness is more important than conventional prettiness.<br /><br />Soul is more important than anything, and soul is expressed as a trinity of family, soil, and artisanality.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />JoseJosehttp://unvinomas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003799659416268091.post-36333449769581931042014-10-08T01:05:39.538+02:002014-10-08T01:05:39.538+02:00and what can I say? except 'thanks'.

I seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest! <br />That's interesting what you say about the filtering. I stopped doing it about 5 years ago, but I think it's time for me to start experimenting again. <br />Looking fwd to that glass of wine :)Fabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029558448422815096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003799659416268091.post-55264260721102925402014-10-08T00:57:53.679+02:002014-10-08T00:57:53.679+02:00It has certainly generated strong feelings, and mo...It has certainly generated strong feelings, and most of them are negative! I'm really taken aback! A lot of food for thought there.<br />I'm afraid I can't make it to the DWCC this year :( but we shall meet again soon and share a glass of wine or two :)Fabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029558448422815096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003799659416268091.post-53544207382057751382014-10-07T12:31:28.879+02:002014-10-07T12:31:28.879+02:00Hi Fabio,

Thanks for your response to my comment. As...Fabio,<br /><br />Thanks for your response to my comment. As you point out, there is no definition for "Natural Wine", which in my opinion is a serious issue, perhaps as serious as the lack of ingredient listing on wine labels. Today, anyone can declare their wine to be natural.<br /><br />I personally have learned to be very careful with what I say about my own wines. I've regretted statements after I realized that I was simply making assumptions. A good example... you say "If you filter and/or clarify you remove interesting and 'good' aromas and tastes." I know that filtration, especially down to 0.45 micron, can strip wine of certain flavors, but I've also run side-by-side trials which led be to conclude that after a year, filtered wines are actually a better representation of their terroir than their unfiltered counterpart. In the end we have to make choices and live with them, but I've slowly learned that in wine, there are few certainties.<br /><br />Hope to enjoy a glass of wine with you someday.

I think it is a brave approach, and likely to generate strong feelings, one way or the other. I suspect many of the people who seek out your wines, and your way of making wine, will appreciate the label, and the explanations.<br /><br />Good luck and I hope to taste the wine (the most important aspect of the whole thing) in the near future, amigoRobert McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384607673163426191noreply@blogger.com
