Vineyard notes: “At Case Basse the vineyards are planted in a complex ecosystem, made up of a wide variety of other plants, animals and insects. An environment with such biodiversity keeps the vines healthy and provides antagonists for the potentially harmful problems and diseases within that environment. The contribution of the natural environment is fundamental: in fact, at Case Base weedkillers or other chemical products are never used, the soil is only fertilised with organic substances and the vine rows are worked by hand. The size of the vineyards is limited (to a total of 10 hectares), so that the plants can be worked by hand and the harvest, which is also manual, can be done in a short time.”
