Taking care of the soil is essential for sustainable and productive agriculture, capable of integrating perfectly with the surrounding environment. This is why in autumn, the winemakers of Rotaliana Königsberg sow mixtures of different species (grasses, legumes, and brassicas), tailored to the specific soil types, which transform the vineyards into a true spectacle of colors during the spring.
This practice is called green manure (or sovescio) and consists of cultivating specific plants that improve soil fertility and structure: it provides organic matter and nitrogen while countering erosion and weeds. In vineyards, it keeps the land healthy and productive.
In spring, between April and May, the rows become a mosaic of flowers and lush plants, an explosion of biodiversity that enriches the soil and nourishes the vines. Walking through the vineyards or cycling along the Giro del Vino 50, you can admire these blooms that make the landscape even more evocative.
