La Carraia - Vinopolis

Umbria has several appellations of controlled origin (DOC), and some of the best known include “Colli Martani” and “Torgiano Rosso Riserva”. These appellations support the quality and authenticity of the wines produced in the region.
La Carraia grows several varieties of grapes typical of the region and, possibly, some international varieties. Native grapes such as Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Trebbiano are common in Umbria.

What we mean by conventional viticulture

Synthetic pesticides and herbicides are used to control pests and weeds. These chemicals can contribute to tighter disease control and ensure plant health.

It tends to focus on maximizing yields and grape production. This may involve practices such as intensive pruning, mechanical harvesting, and vine selection that maximizes the number of grapes harvested per hectare.

Oenological additives, such as selected yeasts, enzymes and fining agents, can be used to standardize the winemaking process and improve the clarity and stability of the wine.
