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.
Organic agriculture operates basing on the following principles:
Safeguard and enhance life and natural fertility of the soil.
Preserve the variety of living organisms, in their different forms, in their respective ecosystems.
Feeding plants through the organisms provided by the ecosystem.
