ECOFRIENDLY: WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY FOR OUR FUTURE

Sustainable viticulture is a must: combining the need for economically viable production with respect for the environment is proof of the utmost professionalism and a guarantee for consumers. The in-depth study of the biology, ecology and environment where our winemaker-partners work allows us to adopt good practices in the management of soil morphology, the cultivation of the first soil layer, the coexistence of thousands of plants in close proximity on the same surface, and lastly pest defence systems with the least environmental impact on operators and consumers.

INTER-ROW GRASSING

This type of grassing makes it possible to avoid root asphyxia, contain erosion, increase organic substance and preserve the vineyard’s biodiversity.

GREEN MANURE WITH LEGUMES

Another agronomic practice our Partners have adopted which allows for the best plant-environment system, thereby increasing the land’s natural fertility.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

Thanks to the integrated pest management adopted in the vineyards, the number of anti-parasitic treatments is quite low, and they are carried out with products with a low environmental impact.
