I figured Aussies would be the best people to pose this question to.

I am re-planting a vineyard on a terraced hillside in Tuscany, Italy. All my intelligence has been gathered to date from Australia (which I visit on business, and which publishes viticultuire books in English!)

I wish to ensure the crop, and the wine production processes are organic.

Any tips in general?

How do I source/make feed which can be delivered via drip irrigation?

Re: Organic viticulture

Try contacting the Organic Vignerons Association of Australia, PO Box 503 Nuriootpa SA 5355. Ph: +61 8 8562 2122. Fax: +61 8 8562 3034. Email: boss@dove.net.au

I've got nothing to do with them, but they may have some info or leads closer to your home.

PS. Isn't Nuriootpa a great name!?
