Azienda Agricola Ornina

Azienda Agricola Ornina is a young, naturally organic and biodynamic farm. The land is located in a basin at 450 metres above sea level and faces south. The particular equilibrium between the soil and the characteristic temperature ranges of the Casentino valley allows the grapes to ripen optimally. Its fruit has a distinct aromaticity and the wines are therefore remarkably elegant.
There are Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia, as well as grape varieties of a more northern tradition, which are best enhanced by the cool climate and calcareous, clayey soil. The vineyard is about 6 hectares, and it completely surrounds the farm.
No selected yeasts, tannins, enzymes or stabilisers are used in the cellar. Sulphites are present but in limited quantities, far below legal limits. Fermentations are spontaneous and the wines are racked frequently to avoid reductions. Malolactic fermentation is also carried out in the whites, in order to avoid heavy filtration.
