Biodiversity in Bloom at Borgo San Daniele
The vineyard is treated as an ecosystem rather than solely as a production site. Biodiversity guides choices from cultivation through vinification, with every component of the natural system understood to play a role.
Crimson clover is sown together with other plant species. By fixing nitrogen and adding nutrients, it supports soil fertility and helps provide the vines with a healthy growing environment. When it flowers, the clover supplies food and shelter for bees, bumblebees and other pollinating insects.
The cover crop also acts as a visible symbol of the estate's commitment to sustainable agriculture. Together with native grape varieties and environmentally respectful cultivation, it is intended to preserve local biodiversity and maintain a long-term balance between wine production and the natural environment.
