Last month, we announced Barone Pizzini’s participation in the Italian Wine Carbon Calculator program.
The following figures are the official results of the survey for 2009 and 2010.
These comforting figures demonstrate that awareness of one’s our emissions allows us design a more virtuous process that helps winery in the short term and betters the environment in the long term.
Our commitment to the program has become a way of life for everybody who works at the winery. After the 1998 organic conversion of the estate, they were all accustomed to this type of challenge.
