We are a young Cocconatese reality, with land located mainly in the municipalities of Cocconato , Piovà Massaia and some properties of paternal inheritance in the municipality of Montiglio Monferrato .
The passion for the land and its fruits has always been present in the DNA of the owners, transmitted by the grandparents who carried out the activity of a farmer as a first occupation. The ancient cultivation techniques have been adapted to new needs, to improve the quality of the products that the privileged climate of the area further enhances: the cool summers, in fact, and the mild winters, due to the height of the Cocconato hills, together with the low yields, contribute to refining production naturally. All crops follow the regulation CEE 834/2007 , the so-called "biological" department, with consequent respect for biodiversity, production obtained with natural substances and processes and consequently the denial of the use of fungicides and fertilizers chemical. The certification body is ICEA. Since the spring of 2010, we have started a path of biodynamic that has led us to obtain the Demeter certification from 2013, with the use of spraying preparations, green manure, cumulation with biodynamic preparations and above all with a continuous and careful listening to what nature suggests to us.
This system of vine, hazelnut and horticultural farming has not resulted in our methods of I work great changes, perhaps because, mindful of the behavior of grandparents, we have operated over the years very similar to the rules dictated by community regulations.
