Terra dei Re was the first company in the world to obtain the Friend of the Earth certification in the wine sector. The Aglianico del Vulture Nocte was the first certified sustainable wine. In viticulture, we can define "Sustainability" as the conservation of environmental and varietal conditions. Being sustainable means preserving what has been handed down to us and what nature has given us. Sustainability is closely linked to biodiversity, meaning the amount of flora and fauna present in a specific environment. Our primary goal is to avoid altering environmental conditions and to promote natural balance. We have therefore implemented all the necessary actions to avoid interfering with what nature has created. This project has put our company at the forefront of sustainable wine production. We start from the premise that every time a vehicle is started, CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. To begin with, the staff must be trained; they need to know what to do in order to pollute less.
We have collected the necessary data to identify emission flows by analyzing the life cycle of our wines. Tracking energy consumption in the vineyard, understanding the impact of inbound and outbound transport in terms of pollution, and precisely knowing the consumption in the cellar allows us to intervene wherever there is excessive energy use. We produce electricity through photovoltaic systems, harvest rainwater for agricultural use, have reduced our energy consumption, and practice precision farming. After approximately ten years of study and data collection, we have determined the environmental impact of each bottle of our wine. Following this assessment, we implemented corrective measures, reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by over 30%. We can confirm that the production of our wines has a very low environmental impact.
