PRODUCER BACKGROUND
LUNAGAIA wines are from a partnership between Cantina Orsogna cooperative and BioGaia, a Sicilian farmer collective. Cantina Orsogna is a (very) progressive cooperative of thirty-one growers in Italy’s central province of Abruzzo. The company was one of the first of its kind to move to 100% organic farming back in 2002, and they are the largest Biodynamic wine producer in Italy, having been certified by Demeter since 2005.
