Alongside Nebbiolo, the Castaldi vineyards also grow Vespolina, Uva Rara and a native white variety \u2014 indigenous cultivars that help define the typicity and tradition of the Briona hills. Vineyard management is largely manual, which requires a greater investment of time in fieldwork, offset however by a gain in the quality of the resulting product. During harvest, the bunches are selected directly on the vine and carefully collected in small 20 kg crates.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

the best vineyard cultivation techniques, the Castaldi family has, since its early days in the late 1980s, adhered to EU Regulation 2078 (now the Rural Development Plan) in order to combat vine diseases with the lowest possible environmental impact. They employ biological methods for controlling vine diseases together with soil-working techniques that naturally hinder the growth of weeds. <\/p><p>The use of chemical herbicides has been eliminated, in order to preserve and protect the biodiversity of spontaneous grasses and beneficial insects for the vines. Vineyard management is manual and meticulous, so as to achieve the utmost qualitative excellence of production. During fermentation, the aim is to enhance the aromatic heritage of these grapes, enabling the creation of wines that reflect the territory from which they come.
