Soc. Agr. Erik Banti Srl

With the continuous climates changes that in the last thirty years they have new parameters for cultivation and harvesting times, our winery tries to keep up with them primary by increasing the number of plants, now averaging 5,000 per hectare, this to produce smaller quantities but higher quality grapes for approx. sixty quintals to obtain approx. 40 hectolitres of wine.

Harvest has been anticipate for same quality grapes from mid October for at least one month and Chardonnay for Champagne starts at the end of July.

Since many years Our winery use organic dressing since many years for the care of vineyards and olive plantation as copper and sulfur, even if in very particular moment forced to use “systemic” treatments to don’t loose all or partial production like it happened in 2016 and 2023 for more than 60% of the grapes.

Winery, particularly at harvest time who last at least one and half month has very high electricity and water consumptions that are covered with solar panels and batteries which makes the winery autonomous like the water that’s need to be one third of the wine produced.

There is in the property a small lake where rain and wastewater are diverted after due sanitation, that ensure now the indispensable vineyard irrigation and the notable water use for the wine making and cleaning of the tanks, barrels and rooms.

Winery uses “light” bottles, corks made out of sugar can leaves, carbon free or screw caps and cartons are made with recycled paper.
