INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC WINE CROPS. Tellarini

Precisely at the moment in which organic viticulture is at the center of attention, the new Pocket Bio "Introduction to organic viticulture", the seventh in the series published by Distilleria EcoEditoria, is released on the occasion of Sana.

The author is Stefano Tellarini, a technician specialized in fruit growing, viticulture and organic horticulture who works as a consultant. In the introduction, the author explains the approach to organic viticulture which aims to build the wine in the vineyard, acting "in advance" rather than "in advance", controlling all the steps until its complete transformation into wine.

In short, "the quality of an organic wine is built mainly in the countryside, and not in the cellar - explains the author - by focusing on the potential of the grapes with appropriate interventions". The focus is then placed on the planting and management of the vineyard (grass cover, fertilization, soil, plant care, pruning, harvesting methods) as well as defense against the most important adversities.

With this book, the Pocket Bios published by Distilleria EcoEditoria on organic themes reach seven: organic horticultural and fruit crops, organic markets, seeds to be saved, forgotten small fruits and organic educational farms. The authors are all Italian, chosen from among the best experts and consultants in organic agriculture.
