While based in Campania, Cantina Giardino wines are a constant presence at Veneto natural wine bars and at VinNatur in Monteforte d'Alpone. The Vino in Rivolta skin-contact Fiano and natural Aglianico are cult favourites among Verona's sommelier community.
Tip: Ask for the Segreta white blend at Enoteca Segreta in Verona or at the VinNatur fair; rare outside the natural-wine circuit.
