Sustainability<\/strong> has always been a central theme at Vallocaia, both in terms of Rudi Bindella\u2019s entrepreneurial vision and his approach to human relations, for whom it consists of \u2018disposing with respect, care, balance, with solid foundations and long-term thinking\u2019. There are many concrete examples that have been carried out at the estate.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Grasses have been left to grow in at
least 50% of the vineyards and olive groves. The process brings numerous advantages, including limiting erosion and increasing the quality of organic substances in the soil. In addition, mowing grass requires much less energy than working the soil and therefore allows for a significant savings in fuel.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the winery, solar panels were installed for a total energy output of 145 kWp; during daylight hours, they produce all the energy needed for the winery.
Our own production of electric energy corresponds to a reduction
of nearly 95,000 kg\/year of CO2 emissions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Separating areas with differing heating needs is fundamental for energy optimization.
The various areas of the wine cellar have walls that contain isolating materials, and they are separated by hallways. Even the steel wine storage tanks are insulated in order to protect the wine from temperature fluctuations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
