What's the difference between organic wine, biodynamic wine, and natural wine? And what are the similarities? Organic wine is made from organically grown grapes. The use of chemicals like sulfites during vinification is strictly restricted, but selected yeasts may be added. Biodynamic wine is made from biodynamically grown grapes. The use of additives during vinification is extremely limited; only certain natural products are permitted. Biodynamic wine does allow for filtering, and a very small amount of sulfites may be used if absolutely necessary. Making natural wine sounds very simple in comparison: organically grown grapes ferment naturally. That's it; the wine makes itself. In practice, it's not so easy to make a good wine without much adjustment. But if you succeed, you have something special.
At Paradisi, we love adventurous winemaking. Our natural wine collection is constantly expanding. For example, we sell several wines from Zeropuro, from Abruzzo, Italy. These natural winemakers work in the fields according to biodynamic principles, with a Demeter label. This means that fertilization and the prevention of "unwanted" insects and mold are done with herbal preparations. Then, the hand-picked grapes undergo natural fermentation. Come choose your favorite at Paradisi!
