The company
My company is a small family-run business that covers an area of 8 hectares. Less than 2 hectares are dedicated to vine cultivation, while we also have some olive trees and the rest of the land is used for sowing various plant species that are also used as ground cover in the vineyards. We manage the land ethically to preserve its biodiversity. We limit the use of machinery to a single soil tillage per year, while the rest of the operations are carried out manually. Even the plant protection treatments are performed manually, using only ventilated sulfur and a small amount of copper sulfur, the latter used very sparingly. In the cellar, I avoid the use of selected yeasts, do not carry out clarification processes, and use very low amounts of sulfites.
