There is something special happening here. Recently I was angered by a short sighted client who chose a cheaper compost supplier. We are what we eat...making this video was a bit of therapy.

Beyond Organic - Biodynamic Winemaking and its Benefits

In the tradition.

When you operate a small farm, stuff happens and ya gotta stop and repair, replace or recycle what’s broken. It’s not always easy and it definitely is a time commitment, however, it still remains a blessing because during the downtime, lessons are learned.

What have you fixed recently?

Sciacchetrà

In the vineyard we selected the most suitable bunches, those with the most sparse berries, of the Bosco, above all, and Vermentino varieties, which will create our #Sciacchetrà. 🥂

To choose the harvest period we were very careful about the acidity of the grapes, which will balance their increasing sweetness during dehydration. 🍇

We then spread the clusters on the trellises, this year also hanging them from chains.

We let the wind and sun work on the grapes for almost two months. In addition to the dehydration process, endogenous enzymatic processes in the grapes themselves contributed to their complexity. 🌞 💨

On the first days of November, the grapes were taken off the trellises and de-stemmed by hand. 🖐

Biodynamic Agriculture

Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic agricultural principles promote a holistic approach to farming, emphasizing the interdependence of all living organisms within the farm ecosystem.

It encourages organic farming practices, such as the use of natural fertilizers and pest control methods, while avoiding synthetic chemicals. Biodiversity is also emphasized, aiming to cultivate and preserve various plant and animal species to enhance the health and resilience of the farm ecosystem.

This philosophy recognizes the influence of celestial bodies and cosmic rhythms on plant growth and development, and it promotes the production and use of high-quality compost to enhance soil fertility and microbial activity.

Specific herbal and mineral preparations are used as biodynamic preparations to improve soil vitality, plant growth, and overall farm health.

Crop rotation is another important principle, promoting the rotation of crops to optimize soil health and prevent disease and nutrient imbalances. Livestock integration is encouraged to enhance nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and overall farm resilience. Water and energy conservation are also key considerations, striving to minimize resource wastage through efficient irrigation systems and renewable energy sources.

Lastly, biodynamic agriculture views the farm as a self-sustaining organism, aiming to achieve a balanced and harmonious relationship between the different elements of the farm ecosystem.
