In 2011 the new winery just outside the town of Bardolino was completed. The winery was designed to be energy self-sufficient with its solar panels (2000 m²) providing more energy than is actually used. Other choices: outdoor fermentation tanks for red wines (using the sun’s energy to reach fermentation temperature), a gravity system to bring the juice (must) from the receiver to the fermentation tanks, the water used in production in from our own well, all have their green benefits.
We are committed to limiting the amount of artificial pest and weed control products used in the vineyards, for this purpose we intentionally planted on the edges of the vineyards shrubs and trees deliberately chosen to attract beneficial insects (able to keep pests under control).
The latest project was to seed in between the rows of vines, plants such as pea, vetch and clovers which when mowed in the summer act as natural fertilisers.
In addition, in some vineyards, we opt for mechanical weeding, as shown here in the vineyard to the right.
In 2016 we purchased a 4 hectare, organically certified vineyard on the hillside of Rocca del Garda.
We opt to use light weight glass bottles for almost all of our wines and everything that is used daily in the winery for production purposes is recycled. Recycling ranges from the glass and corks of the bottles used for tasting to the paper in the office to the cardboard/plastic wrapping of all dry goods.
Guerrieri Rizzardi has achieved the Equalitas certification
(Certificate of Conformity No. 84222/20241107), showcasing our commitment to sustainable and responsible viticulture.
Listening to the views of our neighbors and the community helps us grow, improve our daily activities, and guide future choices with greater awareness.
