When we talk about corporate sustainability, we're not just referring to reducing waste or improving energy efficiency. There's a fundamental element that often remains in the background but is actually the foundation of everything: biodiversity .
In the heart of Bolgheri, between the sea, hills, and neat rows of vines, biodiversity isn't just a concept: it's an integral part of our viticulture.
Being an organic winery means going beyond winemaking. It means caring for a complex ecosystem, where soil, vines, insects, microorganisms, and landscape coexist in harmony. And it is precisely this balance that gives our wines their identity and character.
Why biodiversity is essential in organic viticulture
Investing in biodiversity means investing in quality, resilience, and long-term value. In Bolgheri, where the terroir is unique and internationally recognized, preserving biodiversity means protecting the very identity of our wines.
A healthy ecosystem:
improves the natural fertility of the soil
promotes the presence of beneficial insects
contributes to the balance between species
strengthens the vine's resilience to climate stress
enhances the authentic expression of the territory
In other words, environmental protection and business performance can grow together.
Integrating practices aimed at protecting biodiversity is not just an ethical choice: it is a true sustainable development strategy.
Biodiversity as told by our agronomist
In the video accompanying this article, Dario Ceccatelli, our agronomist, explains in a simple yet technical way why biodiversity represents a concrete value for our company.
As he emphasizes in his speech, biodiversity isn't just a theoretical concept: it's what allows the system to maintain balance over time. The more life-rich an environment is, the more stable it is and capable of responding to external stress. A vineyard rich in biodiversity is a stronger vineyard. More life means greater balance, and balance is what allows the vine to best express the terroir.
His contribution highlights a key aspect: every agronomic choice, every land use intervention, every management decision can contribute to strengthening or impoverishing the ecosystem. This is why we adopt a conscious and responsible approach.
What we actually do for biodiversity
Our commitment to biodiversity in the company translates into practical daily actions:
Sustainable soil management
We preserve the vitality of the soil through practices that improve its structure, fertility and biological activity.
Certified organic management
We grow according to the principles of organic farming, minimizing invasive interventions and respecting natural cycles.
Valorisation of local species
We promote native species and resilient varieties, contributing to the conservation of the area's natural heritage.
Grassing and plant covers
We encourage the presence of spontaneous and selected species between the rows to enrich the soil and support beneficial fauna.
Protection of pollinating insects
We promote an environment favorable to the presence of bees and beneficial insects, essential for the natural balance.
Safeguarding the Bolgheri landscape
The vineyard is not an isolated system, but part of an extraordinary territory that deserves respect and valorization.
Balance between innovation and environment
We invest in innovative solutions that combine productivity, quality, and respect for ecosystems.
Monitoring and continuous improvement
Environmental sustainability is not a static goal, but an evolving path.
Biodiversity and wine quality: a profound connection
Protecting biodiversity directly impacts the quality of the grapes and the identity of the wine.
A living soil, rich in microorganisms, allows for better nutrient absorption. A balanced vine develops healthier bunches. A stable ecosystem reduces the need for corrective interventions.
The result? Wines that truly express Bolgheri, with authenticity and consistency.
For us, sustainability is not just an environmental commitment: it is a quality choice .
A commitment that grows over time
We believe that environmental sustainability is not a trend, but a clear and irreversible direction. Biodiversity is one of the pillars on which we build our development model.
Through the daily work and expertise of our agronomic team, we continue to invest in a sustainable viticulture model capable of looking to the future without losing our connection to the land.
Because protecting biodiversity means protecting the future. Because true excellence comes from balance.
