VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic or biodynamic practices.
-
SKIN CONTACT
The skins of the grapes can form part of the fermentation process. Unlike conventional white wine, natural winemakers will often leave skins of the grapes for part (or all) of the fermentation, the result is a cloudy and tannin filled wine.
-
FILTERING
The filtering of the wine to remove particles post fermentation. Filtering particles may be aesthetically pleasing, but is often viewed as ‘unnatural’ and not filtering is said to create a more unique wine.
-
FINING
Fining wines uses an agent (often gelatin or bentonite) to attract miniscule solids and join them together. Again this is seen as ‘unnatural’.
-
SULPHUR
The amount of sulfur added to the wine. The affect of suplphites in wine on the human body is one of the most debated and researched parts of the winemaking process. Conventional wines often present up to 300mg per litre of wine.
-
YEAST
The type of yeast used. Imported or wild. Yeast is crucial to break down grape sugars into alcohol. Wild yeast, relies on it naturally occuring as part of the fruit harvested. Although harder to execute, it’s often part of a natural winemaker’s process.

About the maker
From the rolling hills of Campania, organically grown local varietals and always naturally fermented, Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola also maintain an entertaining Instagram if you feel so inclined.
Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola tend to and preserve the region's historic varietals, whilst also following a similarly aged style of winemaking. The volcanic rich soil and fruit vines are all managed by hand and organically by the couple. The wines never have any additions and unfiltered, often aged in casks made from local wood. The wines are left to ferment naturally with no temperature control and this can continue for months without risk of spoiling the wine.
