Numer0

(Nomadic Project by Dislivelli)

Numer0 is a nomadic winemaking project founded by Piero Ioli (known for his work at Dislivelli in Valtellina) together with Maria Elena Dioguardi. Conceived as an open-ended, location-shifting experiment, Numer0 is built on a simple but radical premise: each year, the winery moves. New territory, new vineyards, new experiments.

Launched as a platform for total freedom of expression, Numer0 focuses on old traditions, historic sites, and often-overlooked or partially abandoned vineyards.. The project seeks out places with deep agricultural history, sometimes rescuing neglected plots, and works with methods that emphasise intuition and craft over formula. Production is intentionally small, hands-on, and responsive to each circumstance.

The first release was in 2022 in Umbria, working with ancient vineyards and forgotten local grapes. In 2023, the project moved to the Marsala area of Sicily, producing an early harvest, salty orange wine from seaside Grillo vineyards. In 2024, Numer0 stayed in Sicily but this time on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, an area less frequently highlighted than Etna’s northern sector. Three wines were produced from volcanic soils, including a red that macerated in a restored underground fermentation “well” found on site. Amphoras are transported from region to region, allowing for some continuity in vinification (where appropriate) despite the changing locations.

In 2025, the project relocated to Pantelleria, where just 1,000 bottles were made from old Zibibbo vines in a challenging, wind-exposed environment. Many more cuvées will follow in the coming years, with the view to also expand outside of Italy.

Across all their cuvés, the philosophy mirrors Ioli’s uncompromising approach: zero additions, no corrections. The aim is to capture a precise intersection of time, place, and human instinct. Each wine is a one-off, unrepeatable, and hence carrying a sense of wildness and immediacy. Numer0 is less a winery than a moving experiment, documenting Italy’s overlooked vineyards through pure, site-driven expressions that exist only once.
