Manual operations
From pruning to the harvest, which takes place in special crates to preserve the grapes
Our commitment
In the footsteps of Bagolaro
Our commitment for a more sustainable environment:
The natural practice of green manuring
It increases the fertility of the soil by using natural essences
Conserving “biotypes”
To pass on the genetic inheritance of the vines, which are over 70 years old and have survived quite naturally
Preserving biodiversity
By contrasting the insects that are harmful for the vines in a natural manner, and creating a healthy environment for the area’s fauna
Abandoning chemical herbicides
Using exclusively ingredients allowed for organic farming
Informed environmental management, to guarantee biodiversity.
Care for the surrounding vegetation (olive trees, rose bushes, fruit trees and woodland) and the presence of beehives in our vineyards create the conditions for perfect integration in the countryside, ensuring a healthier environment for all forms of life.
All this is an integral part of Santa Margherita’s philosophy of sustainability, which is highlighted in:
Energy self-sufficiency
We avoid releasing 618 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, thanks to the use of renewable sources
Zero food miles
We produce the bottles for our wines in the glass factory a stone’s throw away from the heart of our vinification, using for a large part recycled glass
Carbon Neutrality
The Pinot Grigio we export to Canada is certified “Carbon Zero”: every gram of CO2 we generate is compensated by a positive action that reduces or is equal to our emissions
Recuperation of the label rolls
We are participating in the UPM Raflatac project, which allows us to recuperate the waste from our self-adhesive labels and transform them into new products
