WHO IS A INDEPENDENT WINEGROWER?

The Independent Winegrower cultivates his own vines, vinifies his own grapes, bottles his own wine and personally sells it under his own responsibility, under his own name and label.

He carries out his activity in the form of a single or associated farm and in the exercise of his work he operates in accordance with the Italian laws of the sector. An Independent Winegrower does not buy grapes and/or wine for commercial purposes.

NonoNèno

[ˈnɔnoˈnɛ·no] Nèno is the dialect diminutive of Nazzareno, our maternal grandfather (nonno in Italian) with whom we spent most of the summer holidays. All-round farmer, first as a sharecropper then as a small owner, with grandmother he also managed a small family stable with half dozen of dairy cows.
In his fields, he has always cultivated under the vines the grassy meadow for the cows feeding. The coexistence of the vineyard and the forage got easier with Belussera or “ray” vine training system, because the much wider rows made possible to work hay easily.
