Marco Buratti (Veneto, Italy)
Marco at Brawn, London, September 2022
Marco Buratti’s Emma cuvée is one of the finer contemporary expressions of Moscato. It is searching, sensual, sensical, classical all in one. And yet Buratti has the reputation of a bad boy winemaker whose wines contain scorching, teeth enamel ripping VA. Like a lot of written off ‘crazy’ winemakers, Buratti’s wines seem to have become more composed and sure of themselves in recent vintages, and the results are northern Italian wines that don’t feel like much else. I met Buratti a couple of years ago after I played a solo saxophone set at Brawn in London for the start of Tutto Wines’ 10th anniversary dinner, and like most winemakers that I feel a kinship with, I was completely taken by the man’s energy and straight up joie de vivre. He complimented my music and asked if I did anything else with my life. “Wine” I said. “There’s nothing better” he replied
