The Producer
Châteauneuf-du-Fargosonini is an avant-garde natural winery based in Central California, co-founded by Alejandro Fargosonini and Andrea Spaziani. The producer operates with a low-intervention, zero-zero winemaking philosophy focused on upcycling high-quality organic fruit that would otherwise go to waste in the agricultural supply chain. Fermentations rely strictly on ambient native yeasts, with no industrial additives, no fining, no filtration, and zero added sulfur.
The Wine
"No Fuzz No Love" is an experimental botanical fruit wine produced entirely from 100% upcycled organic nectarines. The fruit undergoes wild-yeast fermentation with extended skin and pit contact, creating an amber hue, subtle phenolics, and a textural mouthfeel similar to an orange wine or skin-contact white. Bottled unfiltered with no added sulfites, it presents rich dried stone fruit and botanical notes balanced by a bright, sour-tart acidity.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
