Associates work together to strengthen the image
and the characteristics of their products by increasing their fame
and raising their quality. Grapevine growing is their starting point:
only perfect cropping gives Grand wines.Consortium's wine-producers
focus on specialisation: they grow no more than 8 varietal types of
both international and local grapes - famous and successful the former,
with a big potentiality the latter. Vineyards are planned for non-extensive
growing, with a high density of plants (3500-4000 minimum an hectare);
plants are irrigated only when strictly necessary. Production is kept
in between 60 and 90 quintals a hectare. Cropping methods are advanced
and include grass planting in the vineyard, the organic integration
of the soil by employing mowing residues, grape thinning in two periods
so as to obtain a constant production, and the reduction of green
lopping and irrigation. To
stress the intrinsic qualities of every particular vineyard with its
own peculiar characteristics, due to microclimate and pedological
variability, many wine-producers prefer to write the name of the grape
on their bottle labels, together with that of the vineyard. This can
also be seen in the Consortium's aim to preserve every single vineyard
as a precious patrimony necessary to create a Grand Wine. Unique and
peerless, versatile but nevertheless recognisable, just like the incessant
flowing of the water of the Isonzo. |
