Podere Ortica

Podere Ortica is a certified organic farm, located in the Chianti region between Florence, Arezzo and Siena, and is committed to respecting nature, the environment and consumers by adopting sustainable practices. The property covers 30 hectares (7 of which are vineyards and 2 are olive groves). It is managed entirely according to organic farming principles.
Podere Ortica’s working methodology is centred on simple, manual processes. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selected, destemmed and then finally placed in tanks. Short macerations and pumping over are carried out, with careful monitoring at each step to ensure the cleanliness of the wine, while maintaining the integrity and purity of the fruit. The producer’s focus is on making wine from native grape varieties, with a focus on low alcohol content and drinkability. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, and bottling is carried out without filtering, whilst taking advantage of the winter cold to clarify the wine.
