Vine shoots are used to develop new rootings and organic matter
Stalks are dug into the soil to create organic matter
Grape seeds and skins are taken to a distillery for use to make grappa before being transformed into fuel
During the vinification process, the liquid is racked several times, eliminating any solid residues which, by law, are delivered to companies who extract alcohol for the production of perfumes and cosmetics
New life for barriques, bottles, closures and packaging: the small French oak barriques used in the cellar to age the wine are given a new lease of life, recycled for use as furniture, beds and kennels for pets and vases for plants. Bottles, closures and packaging are completely recycled and Braida’s promotional material is greatly inspired by the recycling of packaging. Since 2000, old 12-bottle wooden cases have been used to make tables used during the service of wines. The boxes are also used to make tasting tables and lots of other things. New for 2020: the study and construction of single-bottle wooden boxes which can be transformed into “Nido di Vino”, a bird box that you can customize
In vineyard management:
Use of organic matter
Cover crops between the vines
Use of sulphur and copper to treat plant disease
Operations carried out manually or using a caterpillar in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
On the estate:
Installation of solar panels
Creation of wells for the collection and reuse of wastewater
Separate waste collection
Use of new technologies to reduce the felling of trees to make paper
In the cellar:
Vinification without the use allergens and without the use of direct or indirect animal substances: vegan friendly
Use of the screwcap as an alternative to natural cork
