Maurizio Ferraro
Rukend 2020
Ruché
Piemonte, Italy
I have to say this must be one of the worst labels I’ve ever laid my eyes on, and yet there’s something so impressive and so Maurizio about it. I don’t know any more; natural wine has either made my taste for graphic design excellent or completely terrible—or maybe these are both the same thing, now? Does anything even matter? I recently spent a three hour car ride in the back seat with Maurizio traveling from El Pinell de Brai to Barcelona, and in an effort to get him to stop replaying videos of the events of the previous weekend at full volume on top of the car’s sound system, I tried my best to communicate in my broken French to him (he’s Italian, yet fluent in French). We talked about his newfound admiration towards the Catalan wine scene, various “top players” in Italy, and what his family life is like. Apparently this is Maurizio’s last bottling of Ruché—a beautific expression that hits me with prismatic and vegetal blueberries at the bottom of an organic yogurt cup lol—anyways, if it isn’t evident by now, I am definitely a Maurizio believer.
