Naked Wine: Letting Grapes Do What Comes Naturally
Autor Alice Feiringen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 aug 2011
Vezi toate premiile Carte premiată
Naked
wine
is
wine
stripped
down
to
its
basics—wine
as
it
was
meant
to
be:
wholesome,
exciting,
provocative,
living,
sensual,
and
pure.
Naked,
or
natural,
wine
is
the
opposite
of
most
New
World
wines
today;
Alice
Feiring
calls
them
“overripe,
over-manipulated,
and
overblown”
and
makes
her
case
that
good
(and
possibly
great)
wine
can
still
be
made,
if
only
winemakers
would
listen
more
to
nature
and
less
to
marketers,
and
stop
using
additives
and
chemicals.
But
letting
wine
make
itself
is
harder
than
it
seems.
Three
years
ago,
Feiring
answered
a
dare
to
try
her
hand
at
natural
winemaking.
InNaked
Wine,she
details
her
adventure—sometimes
calm,
sometimes
wild,
always
revealing—and
peers
into
the
nooks
and
crannies
of
today's
exciting,
new
(but
centuries-old)
world
of
natural
wine.
