About
I deeply believe in ethically correct agriculture and winemaking!
In the vineyard:
-all greenery processing totally by hand
- the mowing of the grass under the row is done by hand with a brushcutter
- the treatments and processes are carried out with the caterpillar tractor (less pressure on the root system)
- as treatments I use only sulfur and copper
- the treatments have been reduced to a maximum of 5 per season, in some years we managed even with only 4
- I never hem the "femminelle" but weave and hang the garments
- use useful insects to fight cochineal and red spider
- harvest rigorously by hand, with two or three passages per plant for the different maturations
- dry pruning with "muscular" shears
IN THE CELLAR:
- Spontaneous fermentations
- fermentation in steel or terracotta or cocciopesto amphorae
- no filtration
- cleaning of the lees and tanks only in the waning moon
- I use very few sulphites, but doing all the movements of the wine in the open air I have to protect the wine in some way, I add them only after the malolactic fermentations, NEVER before bottling!
- I don't add glues or other pre-bottling rubbish
