OUR WINEBOXES
Our wine boxes are a selection of natural wines curated by our sommelier, Ivan Rumyantsev, with much love and feeling.
The idea of offering you a set of "natural wines" with different levels of complexity responds to the incessant demand to gradually learn about these "new" flavors, which are cleaner and more transparent, deeper and more sensitive, and greatly surprise those who are unfamiliar with them.
Absolute respect for nature in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery, combined with the talent of the winemaker, allow us to preserve purity and achieve the maximum expression of flavor and terroir.
More and more of us are critically observing the standardized processes of the wine industry, where large producers rely on complex industrial machinery, science, and other modern techniques, and use countless chemical additives in a desperate attempt to produce hundreds of thousands of bottles of a beverage that ultimately contains everything but grapes.
The absence of chemical additives or minimal intervention is not the goal in itself for us – we also don't like flawed wines. Natural wine is just a tiny reflection of the conventional wine world: on both sides, there are excellent, good, regular, and frankly bad wines. What we seek are well-made wines that give us pleasure and convey emotions. We are loyal followers of those winemakers who, with their modest means, manage to produce wines full of soul and love; wines that are nothing more than pure fermented grape juice, without adding or removing anything, and that are a pleasure to drink.
In summary, here we offer you a selection of "living wines" that we like, for all those who want to develop their sensitivity as well as their palate.
Because most of these wines are from small productions and many of them are sold by allocation, we cannot – and do not want to – have a fixed and permanent selection. Just like our menus, which we change almost daily depending on the freshest and most seasonal products we can obtain, our wine boxes also change frequently, according to the bottles our sommelier brings in.
