Among the works financed and carried out over the last year, the pruning of the windbreak hedges abandoned for years, the fertilization between the rows with organic fertilizer, the pruning of the vines in winter and in spring (removing the excess buds), working the soil with the tractor, treatments with sulfur and copper in April and May (to protect the new and youngest shoots) and in July and August with sulfur, the essential oil of orange, Bacillus Thuringiensis to respectively contain the attacks of the Oidium fungus, green leafhopper insects and vine moth and feed the vines.
Thanks to all these activities, the plants are reinvigorated with longer and more robust shoots, producing a greater number of clusters than the previous year. The 2021 harvest that took place in September certainly brought a better product, albeit in less quantity (400 kg of grapes harvested and 1800 liters of) due to the up and downs in weather conditions, from strong rain to heat, which favored the contamination of the Oidium fungus (Uncinula necator).
"In organic farming you have to be tenacious and the results will come - Luisa Camoglio, entrepreneur and creator of the project Adopt the Vineyard of Spiaggia Grande, explains - for next season we will help the plants to better defend themselves and we will nourish them so that they are strengthened even more".

Among the future activities in the field, the treatment of the vines with sulfur from March to July, organic fertilization and "green manuring", the green fertilization between the rows, necessary to nourish a sandy soil, poor in nutrients.
“Till the 70ies it was used, between the vineyard rows, to fertilize the soil with the tuna scraps, when the Tonnare were active, today we will plant the beans - Luisa explains next work to be done, also announcing the involvement of Lucien Angei, an “highly experienced winemaker”.
“It is an honor to have the precious contribution of the people to enhance the vineyards and our wines – Camoglio said - The project has a great value for the territory, it attracts enthusiasts of the world of wine and lovers of healthy agriculture that respects the environment. Soon (together with the partners of Piedi nell’Isola) we will begin to develop LA SCUOLA DEL CARIGNANO project, a school that marks the traditional viticulture of the island's Carignano and the transformation of grapes into fine and healthy wines that bring back the flavor of the sea and the territory in our glasses ".
“Adopt the Spiaggia Grande” vineyard is part of the shared development project Piedi nell’Isola with Casa di Sophia, involving also also the oenologists Lucien Angei and Alberto Covacci, as well as the MACC Foundation (Museo Arte Contemporanea Calasetta) and the archive of the Tabarchina RAIXE culture (Calasetta).
