A toast to the journey that brings us together.
The holiday season is a special time, an opportunity to celebrate achievements and look forward to the future with confidence. It’s also a time for sharing, authentic connections, and conviviality that enrich every human and professional experience.
This year, we wish to thank you for the journey we have shared by offering a gift that embodies these values: two biodynamic wines from the Emiliana winery Orsi – Vigneto San Vito. These wines serve as ambassadors of a region and a philosophy rooted in respect for nature and tradition. This gift represents the seventh stop on our oenological journey through Italy’s regions, a path that celebrates the diversity and richness of our country.
Biodynamic agriculture is based on the idea that there is no farming practice more appropriate than one in harmony with the Earth’s ecosystem. This approach goes beyond organic farming, considering not only the needs of the land but also the movements of planets, stars, and the cosmos – it’s a method that inspires a touch of wonder.
VIGNETO ORSI SAN VITO is nestled in the gentle hills of the Colli Bolognesi, in the village of Oliveto, at an altitude of 200 meters. Here, between history and tradition, wines are crafted to tell the story of the land, reflecting authenticity and a deep connection to nature.
Since 2005, the winery has been dedicated to enhancing its terroir through biodynamic agriculture, revitalizing the soil to produce unique wines that are a pure expression of nature. The vines, cultivated without irrigation or chemical fertilizers, thrive on soil rejuvenated through ancient and sustainable practices.
In the winery, vinification follows a spontaneous process, with indigenous yeasts and no fining or filtration, resulting in wines that embrace the distinctive character of each vintage.
San Vito is not just a winery but a balanced ecosystem where biodiversity and tradition coexist, celebrating the past while looking to the future with every glass.
Pro. Vino
An authentic red wine, Pro.Vino embodies the character of the Bolognese terroir. It is crafted from a blend of Barbera and Negretto grapes grown on hills overlooking Bologna, at an altitude of 200 meters. With minimal intervention in the cellar, fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, without filtration. The wine matures in large, used Slavonian oak barrels, preserving its original essence.
On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet with notes of blackberry and blueberry, complemented by evolved hints of leather, anise, and delicate chocolate undertones. On the palate, it is soft, enveloping, and enhanced by subtle tannins that make it highly drinkable. To fully enjoy its aromatic richness, let it breathe in the glass before savoring.
Year — 2020
Grape Varieties — Barbera 60%, Negretto 40%
Designation — Emilia IGT

Sui Lieviti
A spontaneous and lively sparkling wine, Pignoletto Sui Lieviti is made using the ancestral method. After being harvested biodynamically, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel or cement tanks. The sparkle is achieved in the bottle using fresh must from the same harvest. Unlike classic sparkling wines, there is no disgorgement, resulting in a slight cloudiness due to sedimentation of the yeasts. For the best experience, shake gently before opening to bring the yeasts into suspension.
On the nose, citrus aromas mingle with jasmine notes and hints of freshly baked goods. The palate is intense, fresh, and crisp, with pronounced salinity.
Year — 2022

Accompanying the wines are two custom tasting mats featuring hand – drawn designs, crafted to enhance a special moment – whether it’s a family dinner, a toast with friends, or simply a quiet moment for yourself.
This small gesture underscores the importance of the values we share: care, professionalism, respect for those who came before us, and for those who are yet to come. It reflects our desire to build lasting relationships that create a community founded on trust and mutual growth, both in work and in life.
We wish you a joyful holiday season, filled with warmth and happiness.
