We speak to Zev Rovine about his "working contract" with his wineries. It will "address issues such as sexist behavior, racist behavior, labor rights, and responsible stewardship of the land we farm.”

This was in response to one of Zev’s Italian producers, Valentina Passalacqua, who was under scrutiny when her father was placed under house arrest by the police. He owns a vegetable company and is accused of exploiting his migrant workers.

Zev has since discontinued his relationship with Valentina.Zev Rovine started his natural wine company, Zev Rovine Selections in 2009. They are based in Brooklyn, NY.
