Long time ago our story begins, when Oliveto was one of the places chosen by Benedectines monks – from the Nonantola Abbey, built in 752 AD – as the production area for one of the best wine in the area, consumed daily during meals.
The key-word for this special visit will be “biodynamic”, as we begin our journey by introducing you to the Federico Orsi way of living. Mister Orsi is the owner of the Vigneto Orsi San Vito from 1995, a vineyard of more than 15 hectars, which was completely converted into a Biodynamic farm back in 2005. During this Winery tour you will witness (and enjoy) the natural well-being of the plants, together with the beauty of the Oliveto territory. On this beautiful land, located on the hills surrounding Bologna, you’ll be able to find several different grapes such as Pignoletto, Albana, Malvasia, Merlot, Riesling, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alionza, Negretto, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. A vegetable garden, a little pigs farm – only native bride Mora Romagnola, and some free range chickens will welcome you is this little corner of paradise.Visit of the winery with degustation of 3 different wines (Duration ca. 1,5 h)
