The main difference between a wine created with or without sulfites is the special attention that is paid in the vineyard as well as in the cellars to avoiding grape contamination.  Sulfur is used in winemaking as the main antiseptic, preventing the grapes and wine from suffering the attacks of bacteria which could negatively affect or damage the wine completely.

The wine making process without the use of sulfur means that the hygienic conditions have to been extreme during harvest season. The grapes are harvested solely by hand in small crates.  Every effort is made to avoid breakage and bacteria attacks. The wine deposits are filled very briefly so as not to delay the delicate fermentation process.

Tasting Notes Tastings.com: Rich aromas of dried berries, oily marzipan, and coconut flakes. Polished wood and marinated okra nuances on the dryish medium-bodied palate with a pithy finish. A bit esoteric, but food friendly acidity keeps everything in check and well working for the table.

NO ADDED SULFITES WINES: (label)
Our wines without sulfites are the pure and simple result of nature.  They represent the optimal combination of the four natural elements of earth, fire, water and air.  All four elements are required to obtain a good harvest, healthy grapes and a genuine juice resulting in a good wine.

On our labels the idea is to have the elements present with particular attention to the air & wind to communicate the main characteristics of these wines:  their lightness and the freshness.  “Like a lovely breath of wind over the fields on a sweet autumn day.” – Settimo Pizzolato
