Incomplete and without real direction

I saw this at a press screening and have a lengthier article about it in my column, but in brief, it doesn't match with Nossiter's previous Mondovino which took him five years to make. It feels like he sat down with a few Italian wine producers and chatted about the current state of wine over a couple of days--which is what he admitted to in the Q&A after wards. That's fine, but making an 83 minute film about it with oddly interspersed movie clips doesn't really make for enjoyable watching. It's really the last 10 minutes of the film that contain any meat and honestly, it should have started with that and delved in to what's happening to winemaking in the EU and those winemakers who are standing up to it, not just in Italy, but in Spain and France as well, the latter of which has the strongest natural wine movement in all of Europe.

A huge disservice to the natural/organic wine movement

I am a wine enthusiast and huge fan of the natural/organic wine producers, thus I had high hopes for this movie.

Unfortunately, this movie depicts only a small portion of the natural wine community. You see here portrayed only a few Italian producers (what about France? or Spain?), all coming from the same cultural background of the Italian left party. All filled with a sort of nostalgia for a Communism that never really arrived in Italy.

Instead of talking about natural wine and what it means for producers and consumers, the movie indulges in giving space to conspiracy theories and peculiar views on life in general.

This movie damages the natural wine movement as it portray is as something led by a few odd leftists with delusional ideas.

Fortunately, natural wine is much more than this.
