The winemaker is the person who get dirty his hands and his shoes to take care of his vines.<\/p>\n

The family Clementi decided in 2017 to join the Federation of Independent Winemakers<\/strong> because totally aligned with the philosophy of the Federation, with the values and the requirements. The goal of this Federation is to combine all those winemakers who strongly believe and protect their territory, moreover, winemakers who produce the wine entirely in their cellars. The winemaker takes care and cultivate the vineyard, he harvests manually and vinify, he bottles and sells his wine. All this represent exactly the same philosophy of Clementi from the very beginning.<\/p>\n

To be member of FIVI todays means not only an ethical choice but the will to communicate history and tradition, the one they all have in common, following a genuine profile and content, following something true, respectful and ethic.<\/p>\n

The family also adheres to the National Integrated Production Quality System (SQNPI)<\/strong>, a system implemented through specific technical standards for each culture and binding phytosanitary indications (production disciplinary). This includes agronomic practices, limitations on choice of phytosanitary products and number of treatments with a view to a lower impact on the environment and therefore allowing to achieve an economically sustainable production.<\/p>\n

These actions are aimed to rationalizing agronomic techniques such as fertilization, the use of water and defenses against diseases and parasites and reducing chemical interventions. The goal is to treat only if necessary and to respect the environment as much as possible.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”687″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
