The best conditions for excellent quality
cultivation and production
Viticulture
Mindfulness, courage and community
These are the values that have accompanied us for generations through every single area of our wine production: even, or especially, during the cultivation process, as it is there that the sustainable and high-quality work begins – with the winegrowers in the vineyards. Only thanks to their commitment and willingness to continue absorbing and implementing new knowledge it is even possible for us to produce to such a high standard.
Factors characterising our production guidelines and common to all our winegrowers:
- a precise choice of clones and stocks to ensure ideal adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions
- careful working in the vineyards and integrated winegrowing
- continuous internal and external training and collaboration with partners from the research and teaching sectors
Our production facilities and offices are equipped with modern systems and technologies. In the production process, we use heat recovery technology to improve energy efficiency. Since 2010, we have operated a photovoltaic system covering approximately 785 m², which supplies part of our electricity needs. Waste management, wastewater treatment, and emissions are handled in compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
Our cellar, however, was built as early as 1907 and was highly innovative for its time. Designed over four levels, the entire winemaking process benefits from gravity flow across a total height difference of 22 metres. This significantly reduces the need for pumping, which is not only gentler on the wine but also helps to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
In addition, the majority of our wines are bottled in lightweight glass bottles with a bottle weight of approximately 395 g. The lower weight reduces the amount of packaging material required and decreases transport weight throughout the supply chain.
Certifications
We not only impose high quality standards on ourselves in our work at the winery: we are also IFS-certified (International Food Standard) and thus meet the highest standards in the area of foodstuffs production and safety.
