THE PRODUCTIVE PHILOSOPHY
There are many ways to haverespect for natural heritage and consumer health, Sometimes it involves simple daily measures, accessible to everyone, or true intervention plans, perfectly calibrated, for the most natural possible cultivation of vineyards, as well as other agricultural crops. Since 2008, we have tried to engage withbiological practicesThe management of vineyards, changing, year after year, some of our deep-rooted habits. The first step was to eliminate spring chemical weeding and learn to control weeds mechanically, even on the rows of vines (a task that is not easy and... costly if done manually). We have reintroduced good soil cultivation practices used in the past. Practices that, after the harvest, are essential for aerating the soil, enriching it with beneficial microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), allowing the infiltration of water from winter and spring precipitation, and promoting the absorption of organic matter. To avoid the use of insecticides, we have introduced pheromone dispensers designed for the sexual confusion of the Tignola insect. Finally, to help the development of the vines and combat erosion, we practice The text "l’" does not provide enough context to translate. It is a contraction often used in Italian, such as "l'amore" (the love) or "l'auto" (the car). If you provide more context or a complete sentence, I would be happy to help with the translation."inerbimento" translates to "grassification" or "vegetation" in English, referring to the process of vegetation or grass growing in an area. intercropping with selected seed mixtures and green manure, that is, the mowing and burying of these plants.
The good results achieved have encouraged us to move forward.
Since 2011 we have requested theconversion to organicOf some Nebbiolo vineyards and, in 2017, all these vineyards will be certified, covering a total area, which is quite fragmented, of about 18 hectares. Once the Nebbiolo vineyards are converted, it will be the turn of all the other varieties.It is a commitment.We do not have a single corporate body of 35 hectares, but small vineyards (sometimes half a hectare) spread over a large area that goes from La Morra to Serralunga d’Alba, from Monforte d’Alba to Castiglione Falletto., Neive, Trezzo Tinella. In the cellar, we have always sought to maximize respect for the integrity of the raw material, which truly represents the richness and versatility of our soil. We strive to ensure that our wine bottles "are" the vineyards we cultivate. We are fortunate to have some of the most beautiful and important vineyards in the Langhe. Barolo and of Barbaresco, It is quite a fortune: "talents" that should not be wasted. It won't be easy, and it will require the commitment and above all the "heart" of all those who work with us. Our heartfelt thanks go to them.
