At San Vito, the concept of biodiversity and its benefit for the land and environment is embraced fully. On their estate, Federico and his team also grow other crops like spelt and barely, fruits and vegetables and raise pigs for Federico’s famous Mortadella (maybe you got to try some at our pop-up)?

Says Federico: "We've been biodynamic for over ten years now, and we're almost fanatical in how we care for the land: no chemicals are used of course, and we work with nature to ensure the best possible conditions for our vines.”

His wines are interesting, expressive and delicious, and most importantly to Federico, they’re made with varietals that are native to the area using traditional methods, including the vino perpetuo method (similar to the solera method).
