Since 15 years, at the beginning of November, a Salon takes place in Italy called “Vini Di Vignaioli”. The Salon was initiated by Christine Marzani, a former Parisian restaurateur and one of the first importers of Italian natural wine in Paris.

In 2016, after 15 years of increasing success, Christine and Claudia Galterio decided to reproduce the event in different European cities. The first pick was Paris, since Christine is Parisian and Claudia was working there. The second city is Copenhagen, because of Denmark’s interest towards organic farming and in consideration of the already established presence of Italian wines in the country. Besides, we are hosted by Rosfort&Rosforth, a company that has been working to promote natural wines for 2O years now.

This Salon aims to showcase and share the stories of the winemakers who, thanks to their passion and respect for nature, have always succeeded in moving us with their wines, which are typical of their terroirs, digestible, unique and alive. The Salon will take place on the 28th and 29th of May at ROSFORTH&ROSFORTH “SOUS LE PONT » « UNDER THE BRIDGE” in the beautiful Christianshavn neighborhood. Participating winemakers are selected following the same criteria established in the quality charter of Vini Di Vignaioli Italy. The work of every winegrower, whether in the vineyard or in the cellar, must comply with the charter: the winegrower says what he does and does what he says.

THE WINE GROWER DOES WHAT HE SAYS AND SAYS WHAT HE DOES

What nature gives lasts a whole life!

This implies respecting life, the life of soil, vines and grapes. For this reason we say NO to the use of synthetic molecules. Our aim is to work for the wines to be healthy, to express their terroir and their years. We do not want our wines to be the best, but to be simply our kind of wines: alive digestible wines, which are not produced to respond to temporary trends. They correspond to what nature gave them.

A winemaker’s commitment for a natural wine

Ethics and foundation

Winegrowers who do not wish or cannot assume such a commitment are not obliged to participate in Vini di Vignaioli.

The aim of Vini di Vignaioli is to reach an ideal goal: to produce natural wines without additives.

The winemakers participating in Vini di Vignaioli commit to put into practice such a desire.

The winemakers of Vini di Vignaioli say what they do and do what they say about the whole process of wine making, vine growing, vinification and bottling.

The practice

In the vineyards, the practice of organic or biodynamic farming is respected. The harvest is manual.

Vinification is carried out only with native yeasts.

There is no modification to the state of the grape, so there is no recourse to brutal and traumatic physical techniques (e.g. reverse osmosis, tangential filtration, rapid pasteurisation, thermovinification, etc.).

No production factor can be added, the only exception being CO2. The natural wine must contain only a minimum quantity of added sulphites, or zero sulphites.

This declaration requires a maximum of honesty from the winemaker.
