Description
Award-winning filmmaker and sommelier Jonathan Nossiter considers our current cultural crisis and offers a solution inspired by the rebellious, innovative figures transforming the way we produce and consume wine. This new generation of artisans, working closely with the earth to create exceptional natural wines, has assumed the role of dissenters that artists have abandoned, and we should look to them in order to revitalise contemporary art.
