We graft quality on deep roots

As part of the Rural Development Plan 2014-2020 of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia, Vitis Rauscedo, in partnership with the CREA - Research Centre for Viticulture and Enology of Conegliano, the University of Florence and the Consortium of Collio Wines, has established an Innovation Project for the development of a sustainable and organic grapevine nursery supply chain with an efficient control of the emerging grapevine diseases.

The need to face significant phytosanitary problems in a legislative context that is progressively changing in favour of a low environmental impact agriculture, provides the opportunity for the development of eco-friendly nursery strategies, based above all on the sanitary quality of the production and on the durability of the environmental and economic system in the long term.

The choice of the site and the characteristics of the vineyard, in terms of genetics, propagation materials and density of plantation are fundamental steps in the design of a vineyard. Errors in this phase would jeopardise the result both from a technical and economic point of view. Quality products are the reward if the best choices are made.
