Azienda Agricola Boffalora - Giuseppe Guglielmo
My company is located in Valtellina in the Municipality of Castione Andevenno (So)
The company covers about 9 hectares, of which 3.5 ha are vines, the vine is Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo).
The vineyards are located at various altitudes from 350 meters above sea level to 700 meters. above sea level.
The treatments that are carried out manually with rods of various lengths, in the summer season using only Copper, Sulfur and Zeolite.
I absolutely do not use any type of desiccant, the grass is cut manually with brush cutters and with the help of small mulchers where possible.
Fertilizing with manure.
In the vineyard I kept part of the apiaries I had when I was also a Certified Organic beekeeper, hence the choice of not wanting to certify myself anymore as the rules of the plains are totally distant from the work in the mountains that we do.
The harvest is done manually in small baskets, and the grapes are taken to the cellar where they are pressed and placed in the various containers for fermentation, which takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts without the addition of sulfur dioxide.
Only in the decanting a small quantity of Sulfur is added.
The company does not have any type of certification as I do not believe in certification bodies. The company has a tractor and a cableway for transporting grapes.
I produce nr. 4 labels all from red berry
Chiavennasca grape.
I do my work only in a manual and natural way both in my vineyards and in my cellar, because I strongly believe that the Earth and Man are a single dimension and the Principle at the basis of what I am, and what I do is :
full and total respect for nature.
