These are the biodynamic wines from the property in Riparbella (Pisa).
Organic agriculture results in healthy grapes, fruit in natural
balance with each vine and with the environment.

What the heck are "biodynamic wines"? I don't intend to visit the
website but I wonder if biodynamic means that it is not necessary to
wash off the horrible chemicals? IMHO, it may be like organic celery
which always seems to have sizeable amounts of organic soil
attached----perhaps to prove its authenticity!

Biodynamics is much more than organic and is a whole system approach to
growing grapes and making wine that involves everything from the lack
of chemicals to lunar phases and cosmic forces. Try this website for a

I'm working on a horoscope for my Zin vines to tell me the best time to
spray and harvest, and of course I've paid a Fung Shui consultant to
tell me the best way to plant them. I'm now planning to tear out and
replant them in a Yin-Yang pattern and harvest in February.
