Franciacorta Green Vegan: a Unique Wine or a Sustainable Winemaking Process?
FRANCIACORTA GREEN VEGAN: a unique wine or a sustainable winemaking process?
A stream of thoughts by Mario Falcetti
A wine, a label, a revolutionary concept, at least on nowadays wine market. The superficial reaction to this innovative and until now one-of-a-kind Franciacorta wine swings between two opposite positions: one the one side, it is considered «trendy», while on the other it is «too harsh». Actually, the reasons that led to the creation of our Franciacorta Green Vegan wine are deeper, harder and more complicated than they may at first appear.
Before talking about wine philosophy and life ideology underlying this wine, I would like to make some considerations about what «Vegan» means. In 1944 in England Donald Watson founded the Vegan Society in opposition to the Vegetarian Society (from Latin vegetus, meaning «healthy», «powerful»).
