Sustainability for Tasca d'Almerita

Written by Certa Team

#Sicily is a region that possesses an enormous variety of species, and it is home to 25% of Europe’s biodiversity and 50% of #Italy’s. It has an extremely favourable climate, many types of soil, and precious natural genetic and cultural resources, which make it possible to diversify the production of wine.⁣

The bond with this land has always been important for @tascadalmerita family: they have always lived in the earth and off the fruits of the earth. This land has been handed down through 8 generations. “Everyday we have the duty to give it a voice through the language of wine” says Alberto Tasca @albertotasca.

He defines #sustainability in one word: #measurement. #SOStain, a sustainability programme for Sicilian viticulture and winemaking, gives them the possibility to constantly measure the level of sustainability, using rigorous scientific indicators.⁣

Which are these 10 requirements?⁣
🌿Using only treatment whose impact on the environment, the farmer and the consumer are equal to or lower than that of organic treatments⁣
🔍Measuring the impact on air, water, the vineyard and the territory⁣
🌧 Grassing the vines during winter time to defend the soil⁣
🍇 Analysing the efficiency of the winemaking process⁣
🍾 Reducing the weight of the glass bottles⁣
📍 Choosing native grapes and local people⁣
🐰 Preserving the biodiversity in the vineyard⁣
🌱Using eco-compatible materials for the realisation of new vineyards⁣
📊Keeping the sulphur content in the wine equal to or less than the values set by the EU regulation⁣
📔 Publishing a report every year⁣

Tasca d'Almerita thinks sustainability is not a random process, but a voluntary act which requires the support of science, technology and proper organisation. They have chosen this path because they believe that awareness is the best way to carry out a project responsibly and without compromising the future of the generation to come.
