A journey into tradition

The Laboratorio Spagirico del Borgo Antichi Orti is a unique place where the ancient art of spagyria is revived in a modern and innovative context. Here, medicinal and aromatic herbs grown in the Hortuli are transformed into high-quality natural products, following the principles of alchemy and Benedictine tradition.

Spagyria is an ancient art of processing plants, which dates back to the Middle Ages. The Benedictine monks, great connoisseurs of the properties of herbs, used this technique to create natural remedies for the body and spirit. In our laboratory, we have recovered this ancient tradition, combining it with the most modern extraction and processing techniques.

Our laboratory is a place where nature meets science. The medicinal and aromatic herbs grown in the Hortuli are harvested by hand, respecting the rhythms of nature and the principles of organic farming. Here, they are dried, macerated, distilled and processed into high-quality natural products.
