We are observing a general shrinking of wildlife populations throughout Europe, in particular with declining numbers of insects, bees, birds, rodents species – yet, these are essentials to maintaining the natural balance in our countrysides and we believe, crucial to guarantee the future of our activity as winegrowers. To support local biodiversity, we have engaged in a program of hay planting to serve as shelters for wildlife – endemic tree varieties such as dogwood, hazel tree, medlar tree, Hornbeam and others have already been planted over half a kilometer along our vineyards in 2019 and the plan is to carry on expanding these tree hays over time.
