Farming organically means:
• Replacing chemical treatments with manual or mechanical work, and using beneficial insects (known as biological control) to counter harmful ones.
• Caring for soil fertility by regenerating the land with green manure and organic matter.
• Encouraging biodiversity — underground, in the air, and across plant life.
• Following European organic regulations and undergoing voluntary certification and inspections.
• Protecting food, people, and ecosystems by avoiding substances that are harmful to humans and animals.
WE USE RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
Cardboard packaging
Our shipping boxes are made entirely of cardboard (never polystyrene!).
They contain 75% recycled cellulose and 25% sourced from certified sustainable forests. The virgin paper used comes from StoraEnso, a Swedish paper mill known for its strong environmental commitment.
Printed materials
All of our printed communication uses Freelife Merida paper — an eco-friendly choice with a certified low environmental impact.
Cork closures
Cork is a natural and recyclable material. Its harvest does not harm the trees — on the contrary, every bottle sealed with a cork stopper contributes to the preservation of cork oak forests, unique ecosystems home to endangered species such as the imperial eagle.

PET capsules
We’ve replaced PVC capsules with PET ones. Unlike PVC, which releases toxic compounds during production and disposal, PET is safer and recyclable.
Just a reminder — please dispose of these capsules with recyclable plastics.
REDUCED CO₂ EMISSIONS
We’ve chosen to measure our environmental impact using clear, verifiable data. To calculate our carbon footprint — the kilograms of CO₂ emitted during the production and distribution of our wines — we adopted the Ita.ca. software.
Ita.ca. is the Italian adaptation of the International Wine Carbon Calculator (IWCC), already in use in environmentally conscious countries like Australia, California, South Africa, and New Zealand. It is based on a scientifically validated, internationally recognized protocol.
Monitoring emissions helps us adapt our production strategies — reducing environmental impact and costs, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, where energy use and packaging have the greatest effect.
Looking ahead, viticulture must lead the way for all sectors — by tracking its impact and actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
