PIWI Winemakers

Albet i Noya, pioneers in organically farmed wines since 1978.

Faced with the threat of climate change and always looking out for the environment, we are leading the VRIAACC project for the development of Resistant and Autochthonous Varieties Adapted to Climate Change. These new plants, of which we have planted experimental vines by taking the German model of the PIWI, must allow us to eliminate all copper treatments in the future and reduce the applications of sulfur in the vineyard by 90%, since they incorporate a fungal resistance gene . They will also ripen later in the season and will be more resistant to drought. The reduction of treatments in the vineyard will also bring other benefits for the soil (less compacting and less waste), for the environment (less CO2 emissions) and for the final consumer (healthier wines at a lower cost).
