Protection of the vines: the European vine is unfortunately susceptible to numerous diseases which can strongly compromise the quality and quantity of grapes harvested.

We have chosen to follow the principles of “INTEGRATED PEST CONTROL or LOTTA INTEGRATA”, that is the use of defensive systems with the lowest environmental impact, intervening with precise targets in mind so as to use the least possible amount of product, only at the right moment and without unnecessary dispersion.

This method allows maximum effectiveness in the defence of the vine to be united to minimum impact on the surrounding environment.
