The wine that will come

• Why did your vineyard decide to focus on caring for the soil microbiota?

We believe it's essential to create an active and fertile soil environment so that vines can develop deeper, healthier roots and interact more closely with the soil. This synergy helps the plants absorb the unique characteristics of the terroir and better withstand both biotic and abiotic stress.

• Climate change: how is it affecting your work, and how do you think it will shape your future?

For years now, we have been working to manage the impact of climate change on our grapes and wines. A different perspective and sensitivity are required in order to mitigate the changes that nature—sometimes in a sudden and forceful way through extreme weather events—imposes. A progressively warmer climate, with less seasonality and increasingly intense events, is creating extreme conditions that in the future may force us to abandon certain cultivation areas in favour of new territories and sites that were previously unthinkable. 

• How do you envision your winery in 10 years, and what steps are you taking to get there?

• I envision a vineyard with deeply rooted sustainable production principles embedded throughout the entire production process—a new working standard rather than something ‘exceptional’ applied only to mitigate certain aspects. Our commitment starts in the vineyard, continues through the winery, and extends to the end consumer, never neglecting the social and territorial dimension.

• What is your philosophy of wine?

Wine is undergoing a period of significant change, facing challenges related to health perceptions, quality, and market dynamics. However, we must remain determined and agile in responding to the new production and quality requirements demanded by emerging consumers, while staying faithful to territorial identities, which today can represent a new launch platform. Sustainability and social responsibility are, and will increasingly be, a defining characteristic. 

• Why did you choose Resonant, and what benefits have you seen?

Resonant for Wine is part of a long-established and consolidated journey that we have undertaken since its inception. From the very beginning, we have shared its distinctive features and objectives. In addition to reducing the reliance on mineral fertilization in the soil, we have also reduced CO₂ emissions by ensuring consistent yield and quality production, while lowering the plant’s exposure to thermal stress.

• Which Resonant product do you use and why?

We primarily use the Fortify line because it helps us enhance the quality of our grapes — promoting better integrity, higher acidity in white varieties, and greater polyphenolic content in red varieties. It also strengthens the vines’ resistance to heat stress.

• How have Resonant products changed your approach in the vineyard and winery? What impact have they had on your wine?

The biggest impact has been in the vineyard. Greater attention to root health has led to more responsive vines that better withstand both environmental and biological stressors. Our focus has shifted to treating the soil not just as a medium for planting, but as a living, dynamic system that must be carefully managed. Soil fertility isn’t just something to preserve — it’s something we aim to improve. In the winery, this results in a much more balanced wine that only needs to be carefully carried through to the bottling stage, without compromising the significant effort made in the vineyard. 

• Who would you recommend Resonant products to, and why?

I would recommend Resonant to any vineyard manager or wine producer aiming not only to improve their viticultural performance, but also to maintain and enhance the fertility and vitality of their soils. After all, the land we farm is not something we inherit from our parents, but something we borrow from our children.
