Vineyard
5.000 plant per hectare, cultivated with single guyot, not irrigated. All Bolmida's vineyards follow a “certified sustainable planning“, where green manure fertilizer based on alfalfa, beans and mustards (a carpet of these crops aid to avoid water erosion inside these slope hills and aid to producing a symbiosis with vine having so more quantity of parfums inside smaller size of clusters). Bad funguses are controlled primarily using different algae and mustard extracts. Harvest, during first week of October, was totally done by hand.
