Three years ago we chose to look beyond traditional practices and initiate a change: to reduce the use of plastic in vineyards and adopt more sustainable solutions. Today, with great satisfaction, we recount an important milestone: the second phase of the “Vineyard Plastic Free” <\/strong> project is a reality <\/strong>. Perlage has launched the “Vigneto Plastic Free” project to reduce plastic in the vineyard, replacing it with compostable materials and low-impact techniques. Thanks to collaboration with schools and associations, plastic has been reduced by 92.7 percent in the biodynamic vineyard of Col di Manza Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The initiative demonstrates Perlage’s commitment to environmentally friendly, sustainable viticulture that respects the soil and the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":261670,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-261669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.perlagewines.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nPlastic has long been present in the vineyard, from cover sheets to grape supports. Useful, sure, but also harmful to the environment. Recent studies show that even small amounts of plastic in the soil can disrupt the natural balance, slowing plant growth and putting soil life at risk.
\nWith the support of student professors from ISSIS Cerletti in Conegliano <\/i>, No Plastic Girls <\/i>, Legambiemente, Legambiente <\/i> and Sabiomaterials <\/i>, we have been experimenting with new compostable materials and achieved concrete results. In the vineyards of Farra di Soligo, plastic harvested was already lower than average, but in our biodynamic vineyard-where COL DI MANZA Prosecco Superiore DOCG extra dry Millesimato was born-we achieved a 92.7 percent reduction.
\nWe have chosen biodegradable ties and low-impact techniques, because we believe in an ecological viticulture, respectful of the earth and the future.
\nAs Ivo Nardi says:
\n“Change is not only in the materials, but in the look with which we cultivate tomorrow.”
\nOur commitment continues, step by step, towards an increasingly sustainable vineyard. Because cultivating well also means taking care of the world that hosts us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
