Few days ago I was visiting the vineyards of Fabio Bartolomei and his partner Juan. This is something I had promised myself to do it a long time ago. And what a better time than doing it at harvest time?

Their wine is organic. That attracts me especially. But it attracts me even more my friend, Fabio´s personality. For his uniqueness. He is a good person, simple, kind, radiates warmth, always ready to give a helping hand. He is also Scottish, of Italian origin and he makes organic wine in Madrid. An explosive mix!

I have spoken on my blog on many occasions on how important it is to look and be different. I have seen many ways to be different. And many times I analyze a winery, I get a new  surprise with another singularity. In this case the difference, which is very special, it is on the winemaker. What can you say about the product? Well, it is like its owner. To learn more about the business: Charla con Fabio Bartolomei, de Vinos Ambiz (Vino ecológico). 

A few months ago, he exported for the first time. It appears that someone found him on the Internet. This man said that he would like to meet Fabio. Then he wanted to buy. And then he bought all the wine that Fabio had available. What did Fabio do to sell? Possibly nothing. Or maybe everything. Just being how he is.

Fabio and his partner currently have one hectare of vineyards and this year they will add a second hectare.

In this blog I have spoken about many large wineries, with wonderful facilities (Marques de Riscal, Bodegas Muga, Bodegas Antaño), but there is nothing more charming than finding wine businesses such as Fabio´s and Juan´s beside these big wineries.

Do Fabio and Juan have customers? Well, most of their customers are friends who like Fabio and Juan and their wine, and go and buy it.

Do you want to meet them? Here we present them to you while they are harvesting.
