Nasciri Azienda Agricola
Calabria, Italy
Nasciri Azienda Agricola is run by Domenico and Francesca in the Calabrian countryside, far from sources of pollution, 10km from the mountains and 5km from the sea. The two have 20 hectares total, with 7 under vines that they planted in 2010. farming with organic agricultural methods was not only an internal decision, but a natural need dictated by the land they so love. Through the use of various permacultural and biodynamic principles, they adapt their farming style to climate conditions and soil variation. Always open to experimentation, they never miss an opportunity to try new techniques that can improve the health of the vines, and positively impact the environment around them. With help in the cellar from oenologist Claudia Galterio, they do not filter, fine, or add any substances to the wine other than a small amount of sulfur dioxide when absolutely necessary.
