What we mean by organic viticulture
Organic fertilizers are used as compost, manure and other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
