Green manure flowering
The spring atmosphere of these days is colored by the blooming of the green manures in the vineyard. This is an activity we particularly care about: we select varieties of different essences and plants that allows you to fertilize the soil in a natural way. The soil is preparing to face a new vintage and, for this reason, it needs organic substances that bring nourishment and vigor. The essences sown this year are: legumes (Alexandrian clover, red clover, vetch, field bean, protein pea) which release nitrogen into the soil, creating natural fertilization; brassicaceae (mustard and horseradish) with the task of decompacting the soil favoring good oxygenation and healthiness. Finally, the flower essences including phacelia and incarnate clover that produce colorful flowers and recall insects within the vineyard, helping to create a balanced ecosystem in which beneficial insects fight harmful ones by protecting the vines.
