Organic

The Turning Point

In 2015 we decided to undertake a conversion path to Organic farming, in order to take care of our families and company also defending the environment. The first harvest of Organic grapes was reached in September 2018.

The Organic choice

Organic agriculture operates basing on the following principles:

Soil

Safeguard and enhance life and natural fertility of the soil.

Biodiversity

Preserve the variety of living organisms, in their different forms, in their respective ecosystems.

Plant

Feeding plants through the organisms provided by the ecosystem.
