The Isola Augusta family farm has distinguished itself over time for the production of wine based on an ecological and sustainable approach, starting with the use of renewable energy sources for the management of the vineyards. The far-sighted company policy, based on respect for the environment and low CO2 emissions, has also been recognized as a virtuous model by the national Legambiente. The initiative is part of the EU side events to COP 26, whose candidacy was officially selected by DG Climate - European Commission - as EU side event, within the topic 'Agriculture, land use and forests', together with that of CHIANTIFORM in Tuscany.
