    Portrait of Alessandra Bera

    i. Biography

    Coming Up

    Alessandra Bera speaks about wine in exact, spare terms. The line she returns to is practical rather than poetic: “Wine that is a real expression of the place where it was born,” she says. On natural wine, the same preference for precision holds: “Natural wine doesn't mean wine with no sulfur.” Taken together, those statements place the work where it belongs — in clarity of definition, in site, and in the refusal of easy slogans.
