THE DEDICATION FOR THE LAND RESULTS ALSO IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:

Values

We practice the traditional cultivation in the vineyards with the support of natural eco-friendly technologies: we do not use herbicides and chemical fertilizers and nourish our vines with manure and green manure. We cultivate cover crops among the vines, herbs, flowers, and legumes protecting and enriching the soil.

An innovative 136 KW photovoltaic system allows for the self-generation of the electricity required for the production stages of the winery reduce the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

We obtain the water needed for the washing cycles of technological equipment and working environments from the aquifer of our ancient well. Frequent chemical analysis ensure its purity and its use allows us to save public water supply of as much as 4,500 m3 per year. An innovative microbiological purification plant also lets us reuse wastewater for irrigation of gardens and green areas.
Cantine San Matteo: values
We keep one-third of the property as a forest to safeguard biodiversity. The woodlands are the pristine habitat of local flora and fauna and the green lung of our community. Signposted paths have been created among our vineyards and woodlands, freely accessible to visitors to entice them to love and respect nature.

Every year, we plant 100 oaks to offset our carbon footprint. These oaks form a truffle ground, home to the Tuber Magnatum Pico, the renowned White Truffle of Alba.
