Orsogna Winery – 500 members with 1200 hectares of soil – is a cooperative born thanks to the will of some winegrowers who wanted to invest in this land. The wines of Cantina Orsogna, which was awarded as Best Wine Cellar of Italy at Vinitaly 2012, are the clear signature of this territory: some vineyards located on high points not so far from the snow; some men and women with patience and courage who love listening to the wind and the slow rhythm of the Nature.
