“In the last 10 years, organic vineyard surface area has increased by 145%,” emphasizes Maria Grazia Mammuccini, President of FederBio. “Organic viticulture covers an area of almost 136,000 hectares, 19% of the entire national vineyard area, with peaks reaching 38% in some highly suited regions such as Tuscany, where in Chianti Classico, organic vineyards now exceed 50% of the total.
Organic viticulture is an excellent example of resilience and adaptation to the climate crisis, which simultaneously contributes to preserving soil fertility and ecosystems. It represents a virtuous model capable of combining the value of the territorial identity of our country’s designations of origin with that of organic sustainability.”
“At Slow Wine Fair, which consolidates our partnership with Slow Food and BolognaFiere, we have organized an event dedicated to organic viticulture as a production method to address climate impacts. During this event, we will present concrete examples of biodiversity monitoring and soil quality. These examples allow us to design an agronomic strategy to create a ‘vineyard system’ capable of responding to climatic shocks. This allows us to adopt innovative solutions based on agroecology that are capable of increasing the resilience of plants in their environment.”
