In 2011, with the arrival of Natalie Oliveros and her partner Louis Camilleri, the winery moved towards organic viticulture, for which certification was obtained in 2019. The winery's development included the acquisition of new vineyards and, in 2018, the start of work on constructing a new vinification and ageing cellar on the original site of La Fiorita.
This wine factory, designed on two floors, operates by gravity and was inaugurated with the 2019 harvest. From here, the foundations are laid to build the future for the next generations.
From the care of the vineyards to the bottling of its wines, La Fiorita takes no shortcuts or compromises to interpret its land in its most authentic form. Read more
