  • In Association With
    In association with... Welcome to the 2019 Real Wine Fair! The Real Wine Fair is an independent festival of natural growers and winemakers, comprising those who work organically and/or biodynamically and with few or zero interventions in the winery. That said, real wine is relative rather than an absolute or precise term and embodies a certain spirit of endeavour in the vineyard and the winery. We understand that each grower has a highly specific approach; we should celebrate those differences. Real wines tend to be made in small quantities by artisan or independent producers who work without chemicals (which means no artificial fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides) in low yielding vineyards and then vinify without artificial yeasts or enzymes, or recourse to acidification or other adjustments. Many are made with only tiny amounts of added sulphur and some with none at all. ‘Nowt taken out and nowt put in’, as the saying goes. The motivation is to rediscover the true flavour of wine by capturing the sense of place (terroir) and the very nature of the vintage. These wines are individual, hand-crafted, thrilling and unpredictable. They remind us that wine can be a living thing rather than a denatured product and that less intervention means more real flavour. This booklet contains details of hundreds of wines from many countries around the world presented by growers and winemakers who have stories to tell. We hope you enjoy these wines as much as we do. And if you want to buy a bottle or several, or order something you have tasted at the fair there is a pop-up shop by the entrance of the main hall! And wine is only part of the Fair.

  • Pritianum Giuseppe Fanti
    GIUSEPPE FANTI The winery and vineyards are located on the eastern side of the PRITIANUM Adige River just north of Trento - an area greatly appreciated for the quality of the land: the altitude (300-500m), the exposition and the ideal microclimate perfect for cultivation of vines. The Azienda Agricola Giuseppe Fanti dates back to the 18th century and has been passed down from father to son. The first commercial bottling was done in 1972 when Giuseppe Fanti decided to invest in the local varietal, Nosiola, a rapidly dying type. Varietal/Blend: 50% Chardonnay / 40% Manzoni Bianco / 10% Nosiola Farming: conventional Elevation: 300-500m Soil: limestone and alluvial soils Vine Age: 20+ years Currently the winery is in the capable hands of his son Training System: Guyot / cordon Alessandro, who manages the production from the vines to the Fermentation: a brief maceration on skins, followed by bottle.
