GRAPE FARMERS AND VINES
| Our wines come exclusively from vines located in the Doc zone and in the area around Valdobbiadene. Together with grapes from our own vines we also carefully select other local vineyards for our production. We have created a very special bond with the farmers who tend these vines and bring their grapes to us. This bond stretches back over time and is nourished by our shared sense of the land the values which form the root of our local culture. The quality of our products is evidence of this ancient brotherhood, a relationship that we cultivate as carefully as we do the vines themselves. We often visit the vineyards, hold meetings, events and offer training courses and technical assistance. But we also get together for lighter moments where we share some food, drink some Prosecco and, on occasion, give awards for the finest grapes, the best farmers. All of this, combined with leading vineyard management techniques allows us and the farmers to get the most from the land and produce the best grapes and therefore the highest quality wines. We offer our farmers constant, careful and targeted support and have begun a series of training courses as well as a planned programme of support in the field with help in growing and vine defence techniques. Our grape farmers are looked after by our oenologist Gianfranco Zanon and agronomist Giovanni Pascarella. These are the main features of our agricultural support programme: | 1. We hold one winter meeting during fertilisation and pruning and one during the spring to discuss treatments, management techniques and summer fertilisation. |
