Wine doesn't need to be a dirty business.
We want to do it better. Organic in the vineyard, lighter in the glass, real cork in the neck, honest paper on the label — and checked by people who are not us.

Organic farming, EU certified
Every ZIOBAFFA wine is certified organic under European rules: no synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers in the vineyard, and an independent control body that inspects the farm and the cellar at least once a year.
About the EU organic logoSustainable Winery, Equalitas certified
Castellani, the family winery that makes ZIOBAFFA, is certified Sustainable Winery by Equalitas — the Italian standard for sustainability in wine. It looks at three things together: the environment, the people who do the work, and the economics that keep a winery alive. An independent body audits all three.

The vine
Organic means the soil is fed by what grows on it — cover crops, compost — and the vines are protected only with what the rules allow from nature. A vineyard has to farm this way for three years before it may call itself organic.

The glass
Our red has a new bottle. It weighs 360 grams, where the one before weighed 500 — more than a quarter less glass in every bottle. Less glass to melt, less weight on every truck and ship between Tuscany and your table. And glass can be recycled again and again without losing anything.

The cork
Real cork, as it has always been. Cork is the bark of the cork oak, stripped by hand and left to grow back — the tree is never cut. It is renewable, and it is recyclable. Ours is the Helix: you twist it out by hand and twist it back in, no corkscrew needed.

The paper
Our labels are printed on FSC-certified paper, from forests managed so that what is taken grows back. It is the same textured sheet you see behind this page.
