" The organic viticulture in our winery Palazzo Centofanti represents more than just a production choice; it is a philosophy of life that integrates sustainability, quality and tradition. We are proud to offer our customers wines that embody these essential values"
[Piacentino Centofanti]
Our philosophy
The love for our land is reflected in our choice of organic cultivation.
For the past twenty-five years, the winery Centofanti has begun a process of renewal and experimentation in the vineyard in order to raise the management level of the plantings, as well as the quality level of the grapes produced. Following a series of experiments with planting layouts on small plots and related micro diversifications in order to evaluate the final result, the conclusion reached was that the double stage pergola is the planting layout that best suits the microclimate in Giuliano. The double stage ensures both good aeration of the grape, limiting the conditions for the proliferation of botrytis and its optimal shading so that it ripens not by direct light but by reflected sunlight. For management purposes, this kind of planting pattern considerably facilitates the manual operations of green pruning and harvesting.
Our philosophy can be summarized in a greater attention to the vineyards, in order to be able to offer our winery only grapes of the highest quality, harvested with a good sugar content and a balanced acid heritage, so that they through the most modern oenological techniques, adopted by our highly esteemed oenologist, Jacopo Centofanti, can become those structured , long-lived and characterful wines that distinguish our winery.
Care for Nature and the Earth
Organic viticulture enables our grapes to be grown without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilisers. This approach not only protects the biodiversity of our vineyard, but also preserves the natural fertility of the soil, fostering a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.
Wine Quality and Authenticity
We firmly believe that the quality of wine is tied directly to the quality of the grapes. Organic techniques, the use of organic compost and the fight against cryptogams and insects using natural techniques, contribute to producing healthy, high quality grapes. These methods allow the unique features of our terroir to be fully expressed in our wines.
Consumer Health and Wellbeing
We offer our customers a natural and wholesome product. The reduced exposure to harmful chemicals is a benefit not only for the environment, but first and foremost for the health of our consumers.
Innovation and Sustainability
Embracing organic viticulture is a choice that looks to the future, while preserving the natural production methods from the past.
Benefits for Workers
An additional main advantage of organic viticulture concerns the health and well-being of workers in the vineyard. By using only organic products, we ensure that workers, i.e. our family, are not exposed to harmful chemicals when working the vines.
