Indie & Eco: 8 Winemakers Paving the Way

What does it mean to be biodynamic, biodiverse, organically farmed, and sustainable? For these producers – the world.

From installing beehives to raising weed-eating chickens and fighting packaging frills in Napa Valley, Naked’s indie winemakers are turning a new leaf in the world of eco-friendly wine.

In turn, they’re setting the bar high for generations of winemakers to come.

“It’s not a case of trying to farm like the middle ages,” Tuscan winemaker Stefano di Blasi says, “but 400 years ago, we had much more balance in our agriculture, and modern farming practices have simply taken that balance away.”

Through careful, meticulous, and loving practices that restore health to their earth, meet the farmers and producers who make the world’s great wines – and the world a better place.
