Winemaking today, for us
“I see the soil as the most important foundation of my work. The vines are connected to the soil through their roots, which give them stability. Many organisms live in and with the soil, the plants protect this sensitive surface from erosion and the strong solar radiation.”
Through sowing of soil strengthening plants, like Lucerne (alfalfa), buckwheat, and various clover species, complemented by special local herbs, it is easy for the vines to enter a symbiotic relationship with the lively and rich soil. They can choose their target nutrients to maintain their vitality.
Eminently, to allow these prevailing cultivated plants to thrive, much care and handcraft is necessary during the summer months. Starting with careful and targeted work with the foliage (leaves), which creates the optimal microclimate for the vines, accompanied by the healthiness ensured from the use of different tees.
