A range that listens to nature
Sustainability
"We have been given the world on loan by our children and we have the responsibility of giving it back in a better state than we found it."
Barone Robert Baden-Powell
CERTIFIED COMPANY BY THE NATIONAL QUALITY SYSTEM OF INTEGRATED PRODUCTION (SQNPI)
San Lorenzo adheres to the SQNPI System, a certificate of agricultural production obtained in accordance with the Regional procedural guidelines of integrated production, which include the use of compatible techniques with respect to the environment and health of agricultural operators and consumers. The National Quality System is acknowledged by the European Union (Reg. Ce 1974/2006).
Our Sustainable Choices
1
Reduction of phytosanitary measures
- As of 2010 to 2019 - 60% reduction of chemical treatments
- As of 2019 to 2021 -100% reduction of chemical treatments
2
Carbon credit (co2) within the ecosystem
The equipment and development of the agrosystem of woody crops (vineyards and olive groves) permit the absorption of carbon in the atmosphere. Due to the 470,000 cultivated vines on our land, not only are the emissions eliminated, given to the production activities of the company, but are produced and released into the atmosphere on an annual basis, a credit of 20 tonnes of CO2.
3
The use of energy via renewable sources
We sustain energy efficiency via the use of clean energy: 50% of the energy utilized in the wine cellars derives from the use of photovoltaic panels that permit the reduction of CO2 emissions to the environment.
4
The preservation of biodiversity
We are in favour of the introduction of beneficial insects as an advantage for the vegetative equilibrium of the vineyards and given that our vineyards are natural “green corridors” accessible to small animals that move across the land.
5
Water conservation
We optimise water resources via the retrieval of rainwater on the land, with three (3) lakes engaged in the collection of water.
- As of 2010 to 2021: with the use of drip irrigation, we have saved 1,372,800 mc of water: the equivalent of the annual average consumption of 6,864 families.
6
Permanent grassland
We maintain the fertility and equilibrium of the land in a natural state. Controls are carried out on infesting plants in favour of controlled development of the grass coverage of the row space of the vineyards.
- As of 2010 to 2020 we have achieved the total grass cover of our vineyards.
7
Resources and local activities
We use input and local resources as much as possible to give way to the development of artisan and production activities sustaining the work of the local community.
We have restructured existing buildings on our land, respecting the architecture and rural origins.
Sustainability as a concept that is carried down by future generations.
Sustainability means working to try to preserve the natural resources for future generations, a concept that is an integral part of our production philosophy from the beginning. The dedication to the preservation of the land and the awareness of the management of the resources are essential values that have driven the choices of who came before us and with foresight have been handed down.
The favourable conditions of our land allow us to create, from always, wines of great prestige, without having to recourse to the invasive intervention of the agrosystem and in general on the environment.
Sustainability is also a process of awareness and continual improvement, a program of virtuous actions that not only refer to the environment, but also to the economic and social aspects tied to the production. Our sustainable development includes a project with ongoing ambitious objectives where it is always possible to move forward.
Our dedication today, relates to the perfection of wine growing practices, due to the integration of recent technologies and to the experimenting of advanced methods capable of further improvement of our environmental performance.
OUR GRAPES ARE OBTAINED FROM VITICULTURE 100% BIOLOGICAL
For the last 3 years, we have made further advancements regarding the vineyards, from Integrated Agriculture to Biological Agriculture.
Biological Agriculture is an agricultural method with the objective of producing foodstuffs with natural substances and processes. This means that it tends to have a limited impact on the environment, it encourages the conservation of biodiversity, preserves the ecological equilibrium, improves the fertility of the land and to maintain the quality of the waters.
As of 2017, we are one of the first wine cellars in Italy able to guarantee our production system according to the National Quality System of Integration Production (SQNPI), protocolled certificate acknowledged by the European Union.
The adjective “Biosustainable” is our seal to guarantee that with the realisation of every product, is our commitment in protecting the general health, the environment and taking concrete actions to support it.
