The Roots Matter Philosophy
Roots Matter is the philosophy that governs our approach to wine, deeply rooted in tradition. It represents a community of vine growers dedicated to their land and their heritage. People who know who they are, their roots, are true to themselves and their wines. That is why “Roots Matter.”
Understanding Our Growers
Our growers have the utmost respect for their land and for nature. Every vintage reflects the season and the winemaker’s ability to showcase a wine’s dynamic potential. Our growers tend to the vines with passion, integrity and with the responsibility of being the steward of enduring family legacies. Roots matter is the theme unifying our vine growers.
Handcrafted Wines
As we enter into new vintages of the wines in our portfolio, we discover new nuances of flavour, a direct product of the particular climate of a growing season. For our customer the ability to compare and contrast several vintages is unique, thus starting a new journey of discovery which each wine’s new vintage.…a pleasure that is seldom available in the world of homogenous, formulaic wine.
How we approach life
Because “roots matter” we take a holistic view on life and the importance of overall health and wellbeing. The commercial world has offered a lot of conveniences, but distanced us from our roots and our connection with local foods and handcrafted products. We insist that wines contribute to overall health and enjoyment: we choose wines that are sustainable, minimally processed, whether organic or biodynamic.
Confident Commitment
The enotri portfolio has grown through our commitment and by earning of trust by the women and men whose wines grace our portfolio. Roots matter resonates within our community. It unites the roots of the vines with the community that grows them. Our wines are chosen exclusively from vineyards planted in the mists of human memory, in areas first cultivated by ancient Romans. We have walked these lands with our winemakers, listened and learned with humility, and have tasted the exquisite fruits of their labor.
Knowing the land. Knowing yourself. Being true to yourself. Respecting nature. Being a humble steward of an ancient terrain. This is what it means to say roots matter. This is the story of the enotri seal, and all it represents.
