Arnauld Cassini is one of a few producers leading a revolution. A revolution against the intervention-heavy winemaking which has plagued one of the world’s finest terroirs. With close friends Catherine and Pierre Breton, and taking inspiration from Didier Dagueaneau, he takes a hands-off approach in the vineyard. This extends to the cellar, where he uses no oak (preferring concrete as a vessel for fermentation and maturation), minimal sulphur and neither fines nor filters his wines. Compelling and delicious!

L. Stone is Sangiovese unbuttoned—wild, raw, and pulsing with California sun. Ruth Lewandowski channels Fox Hill’s magic into a natural wine that favors character over convention: think dried cherry, tomato leaf, and dusty spice with a savory snap. It’s structure with swagger, Chianti with a rebellious streak.

"Soaring aromatics and silky tannins frame a core of pure red/purplish fruit. This is only the fourth vintage for Ca' di Press, and yet in that short time, the wines have gained in finesse. This gorgeous, translucent Barolo is utterly sublime. The 2021 is a wine of extreme finesse and beguiling beauty. I would love to own it."
