Not a vineyard, but the vine. Not \u2018the\u2019 soil, but \u2018all\u2019 soils within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our relationship with each plant takes shape through the observation of its vigour, its distresses, and its susceptibility to diseases. This information guides our decisions on the support we provide, particularly between March and September when the plant is in full growth. Likewise, the soil sends us signs of its health status through its weaving, the presence of organic substance, its weeds, and its erosion challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First we observe, then we create effective solutions, without too much interference with natural processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modern agriculture techniques commonly undermine the relationship between man and nature due to the requirements to standardise and accelerate the production cycle. At Colle Acacia, we try to re-establish this intimate bond, and we only provide advanced modern knowledge in addition, to support the balance of the \u2018Natural Complex\u2019 with all of its elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accordingly, we are converting our land to<\/strong> organic cultivation<\/strong>, avoiding synthetic chemicals with little use of traditional products, such as copper and sulphur, in favour of bio-stimulants.\u00a0 We are limiting the fertilization to minimal volumes of natural manure. We believe that a soil manages to find its balance with weeds, and this relationship stimulates the proliferation of microfauna, \u00a0to invigorate the ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n All field operations are hand made, and dictated by the evaluation of each plant, involving manual pruning, suckering, selection of shoots, removal of excess bunches, and harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the cellar, we also intervene as little as possible, to ensure that the wines represent as faithfully as possible their terroir of origin. Our search for the best expression of this wonderful terroir gives us an incentive to improve every year, adopting a route defined by the \u2018Natural Complex\u2019 and the vintage, which provides us with distinct wines every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The diversity as a resource.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Colle Acacia, we approach winemaking free from any traditional constraints to produce a ‘good’ wine. We have paid careful attention to the key elements: soil, plants, habitats, flora, fauna, and microcosms that perform according to their union. We observe the needs of this \u2018Natural Complex\u2019, and respectfully try to achieve their optimum balance.
