Ca' Barnaba, 2015

I believe that every human being is capable of sketching their own path in life, joyfully performing artistic deeds independent of predetermined procedures, making each day truly unique. In the balanced harmony established between flora and fauna, vines and vintner, and grapes and winemaker, I nourish the inner strength to produce a wine independent of the fluctuating fashion trends, and most importantly capable of offering itself as a means to materialize the personality of both producer and grapes. As a vintner/winemaker I carve the personal appeal of each wine whereby grape varietals, viticultural region, and production techniques contribute but do not determine the character of the final product. Through the simplicity of alchemic winemaking, I invite the consumer to an introspection aimed at stimulating all human physical senses in a simple yet powerful ensemble with the impalpable sphere of thoughts, emotions, memories and feelings. In such wines I seek to resurface the scent of memories and the taste of emotions that contributed to the evolution of the fruit on the plant, and the harmonious interaction with the winemaker in the cellar.
