The Archetype of the Dibenedetto Family: the harmony of “less is more” as the art of wine production

Returning to the archetypes, that is, to the natural form of something, is the only way forward in every aspect of our existence.

The Dibenedetto family is the nucleus around which the production of this Pugliese winery with the red soils of Bari Murgia rotates.

Our method combines the stylistic elements of the late Masanobu Fukuoka’s doctrine, laid out in his book “One-Straw Revolutionary”. Thus the vineyards, thanks to the solar strength of Apulian territory, are treated by leaving their vegetative and sensorial expressiveness unchanged. The Fiano and the Greco are at home at Vino Vero Venezia, two whites, which appear full and golden to the eye yet their taste remains balanced and familiar. As the wines are healthy carriers of daily life and simplicity, they are not conceived for the wonder forced by hyperbolic refinement and exaggerated solicitations of the senses. Their structure is built on the harmony of the linear impact of each sip, a moment dedicated to refreshment. We appreciate this approach to winemaking, an approach which links the creative gesture of the craftsman to the humility of a peasant, the true custodian of the land, in the same way as the Dibenedetto family.

UNLOCK THE NIGHT IN VENICE, FREE VINO VERO! SIGN OUR PETITION

Sign this petition so that Venice does not become the world’s biggest museum, with fixed opening and closing times, where people no longer have the right and freedom to live. This trend does not only affect Venice, but all Italian historic centres.

The court of Venice has issued a decree obliging Vino Vero, a natural wine bar with over 1,000 labels, to close early at 11pm. The reason for this is down to a complaint from the tenants on the floor above, according to whom the ‘noise emissions’ coming from the wine bar are intolerable, to the point of compromising their psycho-physical balance.

The judge’s order reads: ‘the anthropic activities connected with the “Vino Vero” restaurant exceed the tolerable threshold of noise emissions (…) even when there are only two people sat at a table and when there are four people on the premises, the noise emissions exceed the threshold of normal tolerability’.

We are faced with a huge paradox: if just two people sitting at a table having a glass of wine is a problem, then the activity of any venue or restaurant operating after 11pm in Venice becomes illegal.

The message which comes across is that Venice after 11pm should close and its inhabitants should stay at home under a curfew, because then even the normal passage of boats and people becomes a disturbance.

A city that closes at 11 p.m. is no longer a city.
