Founded in 1964 by just seven producers, the Cantina Orsogna is now an expansive co-op winery made up of over 600 small growers. Co-ops are often looked down upon for their large scale production of supermarket wine but Cantina Orsogna is different. Nearly all of their growers are certified organic and many are certified biodynamic. The Lunaria line of wines is reserved especially for the biodynamic grapes and is much smaller production. Catalysts in this circular economic process are sheep. During grazing, sheep naturally fertilize the soil of the vineyard improving soil fertility, nutrient absorption, and resistance to pathogens. In the spring to keep the sheep cool their fleece is washed and sheared. The sheared fleece is then spun into wool to be tied on the neck of the Ancestrale bottles.
Complex yet easy, strawberries and ripe pear with cutting crispness.
