Cascina Maddalena focuses on the cultivation of a sustainable vineyard, introducing practices that are friendly to both the environment and the consumer, with honesty and transparency, to create a high quality product.
We are frequently asked this question and the answer is: “No, we are not biological”. “Bio” certification is not the only way to achieve a more sustainable environment: there are many other practices and we strongly believe that every business should implement common sense, the intention and the ability to practice agriculture is not based on exploitation, but on the farmer, who is the true guardian of his territory.
The environment in which we live and work is particularly close to our hearts, for this reason we commit to the abolition of herbicides, to reduce the number of systemic treatments and to use products with a lower environmental impact, we apply the technique of “sexual confusion” to avoid high-impact insecticide treatments.
Fertilization is 100% organic and irrigation is only used if strictly necessary.
We also choose to protect the environment through our choice of packaging which is more sustainable and natural.
That’s right: during the winter we sow plants that will flower in the spring and will then be cut back to provide valuable nutrients to the soil and make it more fertile.
Green manure, as this natural practice is called, increases the presence of life in the soil, which translates into more insects and earthworms in our vineyards, and it has many agronomic benefits.
Here are the horseradish flowers, they are both useful and beautiful, don’t you agree?
In 2017, we introduced the “Stelvin” screw cap to our wine production, with the exception of our sparkling wine. It has a neutral closure from an organoleptic point of view and protects the integrity of the wine because it improves the hold and freshness of the product. It also drastically reduces the use of sulphites, added during bottling, to the benefit of the quality of the wine and the health of those who drink it.
Cascina Maddalena wine is also sold in glass bottles that are more sustainable, weighing a hundred grams less than the previous ones.

Each territory has its own soul: it passes from the earth to the vines and from the vines to the wine. Wine is its territory: it is the land, the sweat and the passion of its cultivator; this is why we are members of FIVI The Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers, which has always been committed to making sure that the love and hard work of the winegrower does not go away, but continues, not only in making wine, but also in preserving the land, where every bottle is created and thanks to which it is unique.
