Biotechnical principles are the heart of the newly-designed Agriverde Winery, built in perfect harmony with the landscape.
Natural materials and forms cnjure up the rippling sea and gentle hillsides between the Adriatic coast and mount Majella. The modern stainless steel finishes combine with the friendly wood surfaces, handerafted windows and bricks, leading into the cradle of the most ancient culture....Wine.
It's not a case then, that in the project of new AGRIVERDE winery, principles of Bioarchitecture and Biotechnique have been involved. All the rooms have been built with eco-friendly materials, electrical installations have been screened against magnetic fields, flooring and passages have been assembled with natural glues, everything has been done accordingly to the philosophy of AGRIVERDE.
In perfect harmony with the landscape, forms and volumes conjure up the Sky, the Earth and the Sea, where AGRIVERDE lives in the gentleness of its hills, between Adriatic Sea and the Mount Maiella.
We only ever harvest our grapes by hand to ensure that just best bunches are picked.
We prefer hi-tech in our wine cellars to ensure we have complete control over all production phases. Costant quality over time for each single bottle.
This is where our best wines are aged....then our wines are stored in temperature-controlled cells to achieve top quality during bottle ageing.
The recovery of natural yeasts, going away from the standards of aromatic yeasts, gives to our wines a taste intimately tied to the territory, restoring the centrality of the natural element and of the features of the belonging "terroir".
We do not want to propose the return to the "wine of the peasant", but we are willing to give value to true wines, in comparison to the majority of wines available on the market, which depend more and more on chemistry.
All transformation processes of our grapes from organic farming are carried out through the most modern and innovative technologies: from soft presses with 120 press programmes and temperature cutting down during pressing, to thermo-controlled tanks for refining, to the most advanced non-invasive filtration and wine-making systems.
In order to achieve its quality aims, AGRIVERDE applies new eco-friendly agronomical practices, such as the ploughing in of pulse plants that, through the fixing nitrogen, (root mycorrized tubercles on rooting system), manage to fix the atmosphere nitrogen in the soil, thus avoiding the use of chemical synthesis - derived fertilizers. Our techniques enable us to revitalize soils which are so poor after many applications of nitrogen fertilizers, weed killers and pesticides. Moreover, in our estates, we use pheromone traps and mating disruption to fight parasites.
Besides, AGRIVERDE carries out only organic fertilization with humic acids and other active principles ruled by EEC regulation no. 2092/91and certified by control organizations I.C.E.A. (Institute for Ethic and Environmental certification acting also on behalf of USDA for the National Organic Program certification) NOP and A.I.A.B. (Italian Association for Organic Agriculture)
