Episode 19: Wines without makeup with Filipa Pato
🎙️ Episode 19 : Wine Without Makeup with Filipa Pato 🇵🇹🍷
I’m thrilled to welcome Filipa Pato — one of Bairrada’s most influential voices — to my Introvert Wine Podcast. 🥳 I’m very grateful to her that we were able to sit together and try to squeeze in years of our conversations and exchanges on the topics that are important to both of us! ❤️
🍇 I talk to Filipa about her path to biodynamic winemaking - the why, hows, ups and downs. How intuition, science, and respect for nature shape her “wines without makeup.”
🌿 We also touched upon the old vines - they do seem a mystery yet to be discovered. And Filipa shared the story of Bairrada’s ancient Baga vines — their resilience, their elegance, and why they matter more than ever.
🌍 And, of course, we couldn’t escape the topic of wine, moderation, no safe dose discussion… Filipa shares her perspective on the place of wine in human culture in the light of the recent UN discussion around “no safe dose,” and why wine is more than just alcohol — it’s heritage, agriculture, and human connection.🤔
This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of Filipa’s quiet wisdom.❤️
Perfect listening for anyone who loves wine with depth, purpose, and a sense of place.
