WHY ADOPTING A TREE IN TENUTA TORCIANO

I and my family adre asking to help us in this wonderful program. The Vine is a heritage of Italy, of Tuscany and of our lands to be preserved and cultivated with care. It gives us an irreplaceable product and a contribution to health and all us we drink the wine in our meals.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT

With this program together we save 7200 of old Vine and we preserve the environment and its ecosystem by guaranteeing a high contribution of CO2 absorption every year! Each year, a Vine absorbs large amounts of harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and returns oxygen.

– 730 kg CO2 per year

This amount of CO2 corresponds to 5.256.000 CO2 less in the earth.

PIERLUIGI AND GIACHI’S FAMILY “SAVE A VINE PROGRAM”

The idea was born when Pierluigi Giachi found himself in this large hilly area in the tuscan area, which around the 1980s, where there are many ancient vines, was abandoned due to difficulties in processing. The reasons for this abandonment can be found in the fact that it is a very demanding activity that is difficult to cultivate and maintain, in the Chianti tuscany area with greater yield and ease of cultivation.
Pierluigi and his Tenuta Torciano wanted to restore life, strength and courage to these beautiful plants, abandoned for years, in order not to lose a unique cultural and productive heritage in our beautiful Tuscany and now we is asking you to help us to SAVE these vines.

YIELD OF THE VINE

How many vines of grape does it take to make a bottle of wine? A grapevine usually produces about 3 kg of fruit so, if we consider that the average yield of grapes is around 70%, we can say it takes roughly 2.1 kg of grapes per bottle and one vine can produce from one to two bottles of wine. The vine adoption program includes from 4 to 6 vines, meaning the part of the vine that goes from one pole to the other. These vines can guarantee the production of the grapes quantity used to produce about 6 wine bottles, which would be used to make the case of wine you receive! The vines of the row that you adopt will stand out from the others as it will have a plaque with your name on it.
