Cantina Orsogna, created in 1964, is a cooperative company of 450 partners, spanning more than 1,100 hectares of vines, they are in fact the largest producer of organic and biodynamic wines in the south centre of Italy. Made from 100% floral and citric grillo that is destemmed and pressed for purity. FUN FACT!
