Features
Strict selection of species taking into account:
- Their vegetative cycle so that they don't compete with the vines for water
- Soil and climate characteristics
- The demands of culture
- The needs of each winemaker
Reasons to sow
An exponential increase in total biodiversity through the introduction of targeted plant biodiversity
- Improved balance of insect populations, preventing the development of pests such as cicadas and spiders
- Greater diversity of soil micro-organisms, resulting in healthier, more fertile soils with greater potential to reflect all the characteristics of the terroir in the wine
- Greater global diversity of macro and microorganisms, reducing the need to apply phytopharmaceuticals
Better and easier transit for machines and people
- Interventions in the vineyard at any time, reducing losses caused by delays in treatments or other operations
Managing strain vigour
- Different formulas with different types of plants and different cycles make it possible to increase or decrease the vine's vegetative vigour
Greater resilience of the vineyard to climatological phenomena
- Soil that is covered and richer in organic matter has a better infiltration and water retention capacity, reducing water stress in times of drought and reducing periods of waterlogging.
Enhancing the Landscape
- Facilitates the association of the enormous environmental value of the wine produced and boosts wine tourism activity
Carbon and atmospheric nitrogen fixation
- Less dependence on chemically synthesised fertilisers
- A truly regenerative agriculture that improves all environmental compartments: soil, aquifers and atmosphere
- Essential in carbon footprint neutrality programmes
Effective weed control by competition
Economic gains by reducing fertiliser, phytopharmaceuticals and soil tillage
