Our
work begins in the vineyard. Climate, topography and soil comprise
the natural habitat of the vines. It is our job to care of this
habitat and cultivate it in the most natural and environmentally-friendly
way possible.
Our land is our most important asset. Through our
environmentally-friendly work in the vineyard, we maintain the biological
equilibrium of the vine in a natural way.
The vegetation between the rows regulates air circulation and the
water balance of the soil, promotes the formation of humus, protects
against erosion and creates the ideal environment for useful insects.
Where necessary, we prefer to use organic fertilisers rather than
chemical ones. In fact, the biological fungicide treatment is becoming
more and more popular.

The
choice of the most suitable grape variety for a specific area depends
on the soil structure and microclimate.The
traditional South Tyrolean viticultural method has always been the
pergola one, but today it is being replaced by the French
wire frame system, also known as Gujot. This system is
mostly used in flat or not so steep vineyards, with the exception
of the Schiava, because it is economical and simple and yields greater
quality wines in smaller quantities. |
