VinoLoverNatural wine is gaining more and more followers among wine lovers because of its authenticity, expressiveness and intensity. Also, because they are presented as a healthier and more sustainable alternative. If you have not yet tried any natural wine, here are some of the reasons why you should give them a try.
1. No chemical additives
Natural wines are made with minimal intervention, without sulfites or chemical additives of any kind, except in very small quantities, as well as without fining or filtering. The philosophy is to let the grapes evolve naturally and follow their own course, without manipulation or interference.
2. They are healthier
The fact that they have no chemical additives of any kind explains why natural wines are healthier for the body, since it only consume alcohol fermented spontaneously with nothing more than the grapes and the help of native yeasts.
3. They are more sustainable
Natural wines are not only healthy for the consumer. They are also a much less invasive option for their natural environment, since they try to work with organic agriculture, respectful of the land and the environment, as well as with limited yields. This means that no herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers or other synthetic products are used to grow grapes and that harvesting is done by hand.
4. They promote local trade
Natural wines are more sustainable not only in environmental terms but also in economic and social terms, as they promote local trade and synergy between small producers.
5. They are more expressive
Many advocates of natural wines claim that the fact that they are made with minimal intervention and artisanal winemaking makes them wines that reflect the expressions of their terroir and grape varieties in the most authentic and sincere way possible. Moreover, they are not homogeneous or flat wines, but offer original and intense flavors, which often change from year to year with each vintage.
6. They generate less hangover
Some say that, due to the absence of sulfur dioxide, natural wine is a way to enjoy wine and at the same time say goodbye to the typical headache the next day.
7. They are transparent
One of the most widespread definitions of natural wine is that it is 100% grape juice. It can be argued that natural wines are more transparent since, in case a minimum amount of sulfites is added, it is necessary to specify its quantity, when it is higher than 10 mg per liter.
