Salcheto ★ 4.6
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano · Via di Villa Bianca 15, 53045 Montepulciano, Italy
Salcheto has been organically farmed since the late 1990s and fully certified organic and biodynamic since 2009. Italy's first carbon-neutral winery, with Italy's first carbon-footprint-certified bottle of wine (ISO 14064, 2010).

Querciabella ★ 4.7
Chianti Classico · Via di Barbiano 17, 50022 Greve in Chianti, Italy
Greve estate that began organic conversion in 1988 and adopted biodynamics in 2000. The vegan biodynamics regime omits all animal-derived inputs (cow horn, manure) in favor of green manure and cover crops. The largest vegan-certified vineyard surface in Italy.
Tip: Querciabella is certified vegan as well; the Greve cellar visit covers the unusual plant-only biodynamic regime.
