Cantina Indigeno is a relatively new project started by 4 friends in 2016. The quartet is located in Italy's Abruzzo region and produces roughly 15,000 bottles per vintage via hardcore NATURAL AF winemaking. 

Their "About Us" page says it all. It's simply a poem, and it really displays how radically natty the team really is. Here's the English translation:

In the vats the monster shakes off the sugars and procreates the degree.

 

The skins thicken at the edges, the polyphenols attack, the tannic infantry emerges from the stalks as if from a trench.

 

The amphorae breathe: they have inflated their terracotta bellies due to the hibernation of the grapes.

 

The air sifts through the presses lined up under the path of the spiders and slips away to oxygenate the barrels.

 

A bubbler whistles in the appendix, adorns the quiet from the fiberglass minaret.

 

While the equinox folds the carapace of light, in the corners of the cellar the goblins consecrate themselves to indigenous yeasts.
