Organic Farming
A hope to sustain and nourish
Buying organic means to treat yourself and your loved ones to healthy, good and honest food, obtained without any synthetic chemicals, no GMOs, radiations or unnecessary additives.
We have opted for a fully organic production since the beginning of our business, back in 1982. In those years, organic product consumers were nothing but a small niche. Ours was and still is an ethical choice, rather than a commercial strategy.
We believe in a kind of agriculture that is free of synthetic chemicals, in a work that should be respectful of the environment and its life cycles, rather than bending nature to the tastes and times of man and market. Our wines are the utmost expression of our beliefs.
Our vineyards are cultivated in compliance with organic specifications that provide for the exclusive use of natural substances that are present in nature, excluding the use of synthetic chemical substances. We believe that a good wine is primarily born from the vineyard, through the most accurate grape cultivation and selection. The following wine cellar interventions are aimed at maximizing the organoleptic characteristics of our wines, whose sulfur dioxide rates are even lower than those prescribed by organic wine regulations.
Natural Winegrowers
Wine Artisans since 1982
All the products of Azienda Agricola La Spinosa, especially its wines, are the direct expression of the territory they come from and the work of those who crafted them, nowadays just like thirty-five years ago.
Our Production
Land & Tradition
Our way of doing agriculture is to let our products express the characteristics of the soil and the peculiarities of every year of production.
Our cereals, our Oil and above all our wines, faithfully reflect the character of the land and the period in which they were born, grown and harvested.
Our work is carried out with a predominant use of human labour, respecting local traditional practices that are a direct inheritance of the ancient Tuscan farming culture.

Medoro Wine
Our new entry
We want to introduce you to the latest wine from our winery: MEDORO, produced with Sangiovese grapes from the “La Rosa” vineyard, 20-day maceration in wood with manual pressing, the wine is then aged for 12 months in 750-liter barrels and subsequently passed for another 12 months in an amphora so as to respect its uniqueness to the utmost.
The olive grove and the arable land
2000 Olive Trees in Barberino
We work the arable land with equipment that moves the ground only superficially, saving energy and reducing both the impoverishment of the soil and the emission of CO2. The alternation between exploiting and improving crops, the fertilizations carried out exclusively with the green manure method and with organic matter, also allow an adequate control of weeds.
Our way of doing agriculture aims at letting our products express the characteristics of the land and the peculiarities of the production years. Our cereals and legumes, but above all our wines, faithfully reflect the character of the ground and of the period in which they are born, grown and collected.The workings, carried out with the prevalent use of human labor, respect traditional local practices, direct heritage of the ancient rural Tuscany.
Organic Oil & Typical Products
Our History
In 1982, we chose the land that would have become La Spinosa. Today, thirty-five years later,
the excellence of our products is the best way to tell our story.
1982
Agriculture is our life choice, and it is not the simplest one. Since the 1980s we have been focusing on organic agriculture, experimenting with traditional working methods. The field of our activities has expanded to the cultivation of vineyards, vegetables, olive groves and cereals, along with breeding and eventually, holiday farming.
2007
We radically reorganized our activities with a deeper focus on wine production and trade. Our solid ties with the Tuscan farming heritage have allowed us to rediscover classic production methods, combining them with the most advanced organic farming practices.
2009
The economic crisis has brought us into a challenge we took on by strengthening our business network. We took over Canto di Baccio, a typical food store located in the historic centre of Barberino Val d'Elsa, allowing our customers to taste and buy our entire production range in a suggestive setting.
2017
We decided to strengthen our productive and commercial structure by building a new winemaking facility and cellar, with areas dedicated to guest reception and wine tasting. An area of the new building also hosts a workshop dedicated to the processing of fresh products.
