Insula felix Anfora

The cultivation systems that we implement in the company follow the principles of organic farming and since 2017 we have started our approach to biodynamics, from the vineyard to the cellar. After following a course at CARLO NORO's company on biodynamic agriculture and the use of preparations, we began to collaborate with the oenologist Michele Lorenzetti, who guided us in this first experience of natural winemaking, without the use of chemical products in the vineyard and in the cellar, without the addition of yeasts, enzymes, sugars, sulphites, aromas and anything else that could alter the natural vinification process of the must obtained by pressing alone. The must is fermented in the cave-cellar, in terracotta amphorae from Georgia, the so-called QVEVRI. On 4 December 2013, UNESCO recognized the traditional Georgian method of vinification in amphorae, Qvevri, as an intangible heritage of humanity. A wine, therefore, that reflects 100% the raw material, that grape that we cultivate with passion and dedication a whole year, in a company at over 300 meters above sea level, with no driveway, surrounded by chestnut woods, in a place like unfortunately still few on the island, completely uncontaminated and outside the inhabited centers. The agricultural company ISCHIABIO srl has over 3 hectares, including vineyards, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, olive trees and chestnut woods and applies in its production processes the best environmental practices for the protection of natural resources and strict criteria for animal welfare; is subjected to control and certification by the company CCPB s.r.l., in compliance with EU regulations and national provisions on organic production.
