This special winery has so much to admire. Recultivating forgotten varietals of Tuscany, the winery’s dry farmed grapes are organically grown and then naturally fermented. The inclusive winery is LGBTQ-owned and operated, and employs refugees. And to top it off, the wines over-deliver for their prices.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Sustainability
Valdonica's unwavering commitment to nature is all-encompassing. They are dedicated to reviving biodiversity by re-cultivating forgotten vines in Tuscany. Valdonica's wines are crafted with organic, vegan, and natural principles, involving minimal intervention and sulfites. To counterbalance the environmental impact, they actively compensate for 100% more carbon dioxide emissions than they generate. Their sustainable practices extend to our energy sources, which include solar panels, wood heating, air-to-water heating/cooling pumps, and gas. Valdonica's eco-friendly architecture embraces the highest isolation standards, organic materials, low-energy construction concepts, and features like floor heating/cooling systems, a saltwater pool, and LED lighting. In every aspect of their operation, they prioritize nature's preservation and sustainability, from the vineyards to the final product and the structures that house it all.
