Ep. 605 Helena Variara | Biodynamic & Organic
Ep. 605 Monty Waldin interviews Helena Variara from Colombaia Winery\nMore about Colombaia:\nColombaia has 4 hectares of vineyards, exposed to the southwest, with a house and cellar. The soil is clay/calcar full of fossils shells. Dante and Helena work the vineyard like it were a big garden, the biodynamic method allowed them to work in active perception, following the rhythms of nature, helping vines reach the mineral elements found in the soil. Activities in the cellar respect the mantra "least amount of intervention as possible". Fermentation is spontaneous, using natural grape yeast. The process is slow and careful, keeping the vital cycles of fermentation, without clarifying, filtering or stabilizing.\nCertified Organic by Suolo e Salute (1999, ITBIO-004)\nCertified Biodynamic by Demeter (2007, 275)\nMemberships: Renaissance des Appellations, AVN Association Vin Naturel France\nsee also: The Italian Winemakers' Cult - The New York Times\nTo find out more visit:\nWebsite:\xa0www.colombaia.it\nInstagram: colombaiavino\nTwiNer: colombaiavino\nLet's keep in touch!
