Sustainable wines
Our producers make wine from grapes farmed either organically or biodynamically. Our producers make wine the way it's been made for generations, with simple ingredients: grapes, yeast and restrained doses of sulfur. We call it "real wine," "clean wine" or "natural wine," because our wines are made without laboratory yeast and without the litany of additives that find their way into the majority of wines.
Certified organic
Certified organic wineries in Italy adhere to strict regulations that promote environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and the absence of synthetic chemicals. Vineyards are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, while winemaking processes limit additives and prioritize natural fermentation methods. Certification, regulated by the EU Organic logo, ensures transparency, rigorous inspections, and compliance with standards that respect both nature and consumer health.
Practicing organic
A practicing organic winery follows organic farming and winemaking methods—avoiding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers—without obtaining official certification. Certification can be a costly process, both in time and money, so many of our family-owned wineries choose to focus on their winemaking. We know and trust their commitment to organic methods without the need for a certification label.
Organic conversion
Some wineries are in the transitional process of moving from conventional winemaking to organic. This typically lasts three years, involves eliminating synthetic chemicals, adopting sustainable vineyard management, and meeting strict organic farming standards. During this period, the winery implements organic methods but can only label its wines as certified organic after successfully completing the transition and receiving official certification.
Sustainable
A sustainable winery focuses not just on being environmentally friendly but also on being socially responsible. While they care deeply about the winemaking process, they’re also looking for broader ways their business can bring positive impact to their communities. Examples are dry farming, managing energy consumption, minimizing carbon footprint, promoting biodiversity, using eco-friendly packaging, and ensuring fair labor conditions.
Biodynamic
Biodynamic wineries follow a holistic farming approach that views the vineyard as a self-sustaining ecosystem, integrating organic practices with spiritual and ecological principles. Biodynamics involves using natural preparations, composting, and connecting vineyard work with the natural cycles of the ecosystem. A biodynamic winery can be certified or practicing.
