What does natural biodiversity in the vineyards mean? The greater the biodiversity, which favours the presence of native species (limiting instead that of sown, cosmopolitan and alien species), the better it determines an increase in the ability of the “vineyard” ecosystem to react to changes following any event that modifies its balance.
In winter 2019/2020 Vitenova together with the Committee Montalcino Bio and the support of the “Scuola Permanente dell’Abitare” and the “Ordine dei Dottori Agronomi e Forestali della Provincia di Siena” organized a cycle of conferences with the theme Soil, Environment and Agriculture in Montalcino.
The wineries and estates that are following us know very well that for us it’s very important to study and share technical aspects, because only in this way we create a basis of a fruitful collaboration. Every year we organize training courses, but also conferences to offer to participants more technical and scientific knowledge on current arguments, as we did in our last cycle of conferences about Soil, Environment and Agriculture in Montalcino. Unfortunately, the pandemic didn’t permit us to organize conferences or courses this year life, but thanks to Vinnatur and also to the project TIGESVI we could start this year even with interesting webinars of which we want to give you some details:
We want to express our special thanks to the editorial board of Mille Vigne (Link: https://www.millevigne.it/), and to the journalist Marco Tenzoni for his article about “A bouquet of… pesticides” in the edition 03/2019 in which he published also some details about our work in the careful and accurate vine management.
