What is Natural Wine? Simply put, natural wines are produced from vine to bottle without artificial intervention. Free from pesticides, additives and synthetic yeasts, natural wines are the result of fruit traditionally grown and naturally fermented. Let Alpino and SelectioNaturel be your guide to exploring this fascinating sector of the wine world!
Eric has been part of the SelectioNaturel family for six years, serving as our sales manager. He was the owner and operator of Le Caveau Wines in Atlanta for many years before joining our team. He opened Le Caveau in 2010 and from the start he was a champion of wine made by farmers using natural methods in the vineyard and the cellar to transform healthy grapes into their purest expression in the bottle. Now he helps us share the special connection that each wine has to its land and to the incredible families that make it all happen.
Matt Mollo is just a guy who likes wine--real wine. Wine that is made by farmers dedicated to using the best natural methods in the vineyards and in the cellars. Arriving to the wine world on a crooked path filled with many adventures, Matt fulfilled a longtime dream in founding SelectioNaturel.
For Matt, importing wine is a way of being both a storyteller and a messenger. When we drink wine, we're connected to the places and the great people who make it all happen. There's a lot that goes into choosing the wines he imports; yes, the place, the soil, and the details matter. But above all, it's a deep connection to the people, the families, and the histories that each bottle contains.
"I am fortunate to work with amazing people who make it possible- from the winemakers and family of distributors around the US, to the shops and restaurants that bring the wine to the people. SelectioNaturel has a very basic premise; we offer real wine that is naturally made. Â It happens to come from Italy. You should try some."
- Matt Mollo
