MINIMAL

PROGETTO

Our way of working is entirely based on saving and minimal use of resources, in every step. Starting from the soil and plants, minimal mechanical interventions allow significant reductions in consumption, and therefore in emissions. The lack of fertilization guarantees harmony in the development of the vines, balance in production, and the reduction of protection treatments. The plant grows and produces using the resources available and not external production factors, thus eliminating the production, transport and use of raw materials. No plastics of any kind are used in the vineyards and on the company grounds. The vineyard lands are all close to the company building, there is no need to transport the grapes from far away.

 

The productive harmony extends to the bunches which, when brought to the cellar, do not require chemical or mechanical corrections for the fermentation and subsequent refinement of the wines. The packaging we use is entirely recyclable and minimal. We adopt the crown cap for most wines, a solution that we consider modern and reliable. We use recycled materials and reuse the materials we deal with for various uses. Ecological footprint and resilience are concepts that have always been part of our method.

Our philosophy in the winery is totally inspired by minimalism. Winemaking follows the natural process of transforming grapes into fermented grape juice, wine. The musts ferment spontaneously thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on our grapes and in the cellar ecosystem. We do not implement any chemical correction, no filtration or clarification, the use of sulfur dioxide is reduced to a minimum. The tanks used are made of stainless steel and fibreglass, materials that do not release aromas into the wine and which allow us to adequately preserve the characteristics of the fruit and the vintage, as well as the natural expression of our grapes. A particularly hot and dry year will correspond to an enveloping and full-bodied wine, a particularly humid year will correspond to a complex wine full of aromas, and so on in infinite variations. This makes agricultural work and wine production so fascinating.
