Bellotti Rosso Semplicamente Vino, Biodynamic wine, no added sulphur, Barbera, Dolcetto, wild, fresh, alive and just a little bit funky! A deliciously fresh red wine, bursting with natural vivacity, dark and crunchy red fruits, notes of spice, chewy tannins and a lingering finish with just a note of funky earthy yeastiness. Delicious natural wine from one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Piemonte. Enjoy this with a freshly made, proper Margherita Pizza, slightly chilled on a warm evening.
Stefano Bellotti began as an eighteen year old in 1977, reclaiming the family farm where there was less than 1 hectare of vineyard in existing use. He began working organically from the beginning, and introduced biodynamic methods in 1984. The wines of Degli Ulivi are pure and natural, made without manipulation. Their belief is that the art of winemaking is to accompany the wine through its natural transformation process. In addition to grape growing, the estate has a diversified production of fruits, vegetables and cereals, and keeps a variety of farm animals. This biodiversity is an essential factor in biodynamic farming, which treats farms as self-contained, selfsufficient entities requiring little or no inputs from the outside. Their wines are bursting with character a little funk, and a lot of heart. A true taste of Piemonte.

A very interesting wine with lots of flavour and length. Very moreish and I'd buy again. Despite the crown cap not sparkling.
