PIWI SYNONYMOUS WITH RESISTANCE

The greatest value for the Gentili company is respect for Mother Earth. Among the many ways in which grapes can be produced in a sustainable way is the world of PIWI varieties, which indicates the vines most resistant to diseases, for which many pesticides are normally used.
Having a plant that is more resistant to diseases means drastically reducing defense interventions, going from 15 or 20 to 2-4 per season. It is therefore not just a question of replacing a chemical poison with a less impacting poison, but the concept of plant well-being (and the environment that hosts it!) Is radically changed, going beyond the concept of organic farming. In resistant vineyards there is a lot of biodiversity, favored even by minimal human intervention, and the yeasts naturally present on the untreated skins are in perfect balance, giving rise to spontaneous fermentation of great typicality.
