Bakari was born from the desire of five professionals in the world of wine to offer something that wasn’t there. “We wanted a line of wines – explains Raffaele Bonivento, project leader – natural, well done, at an affordable cost that met specific requirements: easy to drink, democratic but not conceptual, for the people, without ethical and cultural superstructures. In short, good and natural wines for everyone.” Winemaker Stefano Menti uses grapes from his family’s vineyard in Gambellara as well as from friends and neighbors that match his farming ethos.
