Orsi

Federico Orsi grew up in Brazil, returned to Bologna to study business, and was set for a corporate career when a local winery came up for sale. On something of a dare, he and his wife Carola bought it in 2005. Neither had grown a vine before. Within a few years, Federico had immersed himself in biodynamic literature, converted the estate, and was producing some of the most distinctive fizzy whites in Emilia-Romagna.

The estate at Vigneto San Vito in Valsamoggia had been producing wine for over half a century before the Orsis arrived. Federico acquired it in 2005 and began the shift to biodynamics by 2006, dropping conventional inputs and adopting native-yeast fermentation by 2007. Unfined and unfiltered winemaking followed by 2009. Outside the winery, Federico co-founded the Mercato della Terra farmers market in Bologna and co-owns the restaurant Ahime, where the farm supplies vegetables year-round.
