Use of natural fertilizers using legumes such as broad beans, clover as these are plants that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria and grant nitrogen to the soil
Protection of erosion by grassing at critical points
Preventive defense of the vine by adopting agronomic practices that support and help combat the plant e.g. flaking, thinning of bunches, green pruning
During the planting phase, only wooden poles are used to support the vines
Only biodegradable ropes are used in the binding phase, or in older vines, binding with willow is still used
WATER
Use of low volume sprayers for the treatment of the vines that reduce the amount of water to be used during the treatments
Any irrigation and treatment is done only and exclusively using rainwater collected through tanks located in each vineyard
The washing water from the cellar is channelled into collection pits
An annual chemical check is carried out on the company’s water coming from the aqueduct
In order to avoid the abuse of chemical products with a consequent greater use of water during the sanitization of the tanks, is only used hot water
Water is microfiltered
WASTE
The by-products of the winemaking process, e.g. pomace, are sent to the distillery
The stems are transported in the soil to produce organic fertilizer with zero impact
For the filtration of wines, almost exclusively reusable candle filters are used
Plastic waste is transferred to companies operating for recycling
FAUNA
We maintain on our land wooded areas with different types of trees, and since 10 years have been planted olive trees and other types of fruit trees near our vineyards in order to ensure proper biodiversity
ECOLOGICAL ENERGY SOURCES
Choice of the most energy-efficient electrical machinery
Photovoltaic plant installed in the vineyard and in the cellar
