Wine Without Walls is the section of 5StarWines – the Book dedicated to organic and/or biodynamic wines. The goal of Wine Without Walls is to recognize the commitment of producers in biodynamic and organic agriculture, as they define new sustainable horizons both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
EVALUATION
A dedicated Wine Without Walls jury evaluates organic or biodynamic wines, as they do for 5StarWines. The panel of judges assigns the scores on the basis of a visual, olfactory and gustatory examination: the average of these votes, subject to the final evaluation of the Panel Chair, produces the final score, expressed out of a hundred, and the accompanying tasting note.
SELECTION
The wines that obtain a score equal to or greater than 90/100 are included in the special Wine Without Walls section of the 5StarWines – the Book, with respective score and tasting note. In addition to being an important recognition and informative contribution, the Book is also an effective promotional and commercial tool, distributed to an international audience of commercial operators and wine professionals.
