In recent years, terms such as organic, biodynamic and natural have become increasingly common on wine labels and in conversations at the table. Although often used as synonyms, they refer to different approaches, both in the vineyard and in the winery.
Organic wine is the simplest to understand: the grapes are grown without synthetic chemicals, following official standards and certifications. In the winery, the use of technology and practices that ensure stability and consistency is permitted, while maintaining respect for the environment.
Biodynamics is based on these principles, but adopts a more holistic view of the vineyard, which is seen as a living organism. The work follows natural rhythms and specific calendars, seeking a deep balance between soil, plant and ecosystem, which is reflected in wines with a strong identity.
Natural wine, on the other hand, is the most debated and least regulated. More than a formal category, it represents a philosophy of minimal intervention, with spontaneous fermentation and few or no corrections, favouring a more raw and direct expression of the wine.
There is no such thing as a ‘best’ wine: organic wine tends to be more predictable, biodynamic wine more distinctive, and natural wine more free. In our suggestions today, you will find wines produced according to these approaches, which are increasingly sought after by consumers who are attentive to sustainability and a more conscious lifestyle.
