Meet 100 top eco friendly producers from the US and Italy - selected both for their farming practices and their wine quality - at the Slow Wine Guide tasting Monday in San Francisco.
More than 80 wineries from Italy will be pouring, along with 20 from the US.
The Italian wineries represent Compagna, Puglia, Sardinia, and Sicily in the south, along with central and northern Italian regions–the Aburzzo, Emilia Romagna, the Marche, Friuli, Lombardy, Tuscany, the Veneto, and, of course, Piemonte, the region that gave birth to the Slow Wine movement.
US producers include 14 from California, 5 from Oregon and one from Washington state. They are listed here.
One star * = organically grown (100 percent)
Two stars ** = some wines are organically grown

The new SLOW WINE GUIDE USA 2022 edition should launch shortly, too, so stay tuned for that announcement. You can also buy the 2021 guide (with 285 wineries) on Amazon. Some wineries also sell the guide in their tasting rooms.
The Italian guide (published in Italian only) with more than 1,900 wineries will be available at the Jan. 24 event for $20.
There are also some seminars available for Monday as well.
Slow Wine Guide is the most transparent, eco friendly wine guide in the global wine world, systematically listing farming practices (materials and processes used) and winemaking details along with tasting notes.
