Biodynamics in a nutshell. From 2013 to 2021 the global Biodynamic vineyard doubled to 22,000 ha or 54,000 acres.  Biodynamics pioneered regenerative agriculture, requiring vineyards to become living, self-sustaining farm organisms. All green waste is re-cycled into terroir-driven fertility streams via composting.

In addition, small quantities of wild medicinal plants – stinging nettles, chamomile, oak bark, cow manure (digested plant matter) and silica, the world’s most abundant mineral are used to make the Biodynamic tools or Biodynamic preparations. The preparations, of which there are nine  promote crop, farm and farmer health.

Austria, Germany and France are key producers and consumers of Biodynamic wines.

The 2018 International Biodynamic Wine Conference in San Francisco rewarded Orsogna as the largest Demeter certified biodynamic grape production farm in the world.
