Bakari

Bakari is the brainchild of five wine industry experts who set out to fill a gap in the market. Led by project leader Raffaele Bonivento, they set out to create affordable, well-crafted, and genuinely natural wines. Winemaker Stefano Menti sources grapes from his family vineyard in Gambellara and like-minded friends and neighbors who share his commitment to sustainable farming. Bakari's mission is to offer good, approachable, and unpretentious natural wines for all.

About the Winemaker

Bakari

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 “. The experience that gave birth to this project is that of: Raffaele Bonivento, a past in Vinnatur and Porthos, today he is a wine selector and president of Meteri, a young reality established in the world of natural wine; Stefano Menti, winemaker of the family business in Gambellara who works in a biodynamic regime and is an interpreter of Garganega. - Zev Rovine

From the rolling hills of Valpolicella to the sun-kissed vineyards of Soave, Veneto's winemakers are redefining tradition by embracing organic and biodynamic principles in their viticulture practices. With a deep reverence for the land and a commitment to minimal intervention, these artisans coax out the true essence of the indigenous grape varieties, resulting in wines that pulsate with vitality and character. From lively orange wines to elegant reds and crisp whites, Veneto's natural wines offer a sensorial journey that reflects both the diversity of the terroir and the passion of the winemakers who call this enchanting region home.
