Your 2023 Naked Winemaker of the Year is... the fabulously talented, the one, the only... Marica Bonomo!

We knew Marica would be a perfect fit for Naked when she joined us back in 2022, and that Angels would love her wines. But to go from a standing start to Winemaker of the Year in just two years is nothing short of extraordinary.
Marica is exactly the kind of hard-working, humble but uber-talented winemaker Naked was set up to support. A third generation winemaker, her family have been crafting top-quality Italian wines for 66 years, up in the hills near Lake Garda in the Veneto region. They don’t use pesticides or herbicides, and can paper the walls of their recently renovated, solar-powered winery with so many sustainability credentials and certificates. And by producing only wines that come from their own vineyards, Marica knows the identity and soul of every single grape that goes into them.
In recent years, Marica’s wines have started to get noticed in high places, including being named in the ‘Top 100 Wines’ in the world by Wine Spectator. And now she’s topped it all by being named your 2023 Winemaker of the Year. It couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.

A serial maker of the world's best Rose who now makes top Provence kit just for you

Julian Faulkner is a second generation winemaker and rising superstar in Provence. Over the past few years, he’s caught the eye of the world’s top wine boffs, with glowing reviews from the likes of Jancis Robinson and a double whammy of ‘world’s best rose’ awards from Decanter and the International Wine Challenge. Not a bad track record.
It all started when he was a kid, helping out his parents in the vineyard. Julian didn’t know it yet, but the bug had bit him. In 1999, unable to turn a profit, his folks were on the verge of selling up when Julian set aside a promising career in the environmental sector to take over as winemaker, with a vow to turn the family business around. Since then, the estate has gone from strength to strength and Julian runs the operation with a green conscience and a big focus on sustainable techniques.
After being let down one too many times by traditional wine corp, Julian reached out to us. Now, he can’t wait to make his standout wines for Angels with the safety and security of being a Naked winemaker, and he’s teaming up with some super-passionate growers to create new and exclusive Provence wines just for you.
