Davino Faurar Red

When we begin working on the soils that feed our vines we intentionally employ traditional methods, even if we use state of the art technology, with ever increasing efficiency.We prefer to work harder, several time a year, by ploughing rather than using herbicides to control weeds in our vineyards. Moreover, ploughing aids in aerating the soil, which favors microbiological development – an important factor in natural equilibrium of each plot. Ploughing also limits water evaporation, crucial during prolonged droughts. Difficult and poor soils like the ones in our vineyard have the reputation of being ideal for a qualitative production. However, it is necessary to avoid instances when soil nutrients reach critically low levels so as not to excessively weaken our vines. This is why we use natural fertilizer, manure, which adds enough nutrients to our soils, while also aiding with water retention.

The locals live through their vineyards. They are hardworking men and women, patient and very passionate about wine. It is with these skilled and kind people, that Davino begins year after year its pursuit of perfection.
