LIFE SARMIENTO meets with wineries of the D.O. Ribera del Duero

Project partners visit wineries of the D.O. Ribera del Duero in the province of Burgos to disseminate and transfer the results of the innovative management of vine shoots that is carried out in the D.O. Bullas (Murcia).

During the visit, meetings were held with Bodegas Hercal, Bodegas Marta Maté, Bodega Páramo de Corcos and Bodegas Vetusta.

The objective pursued was the dissemination of the project and to promote the transfer of the system for the management of vine shoots and the composting method used, with which, an organic compost with biostimulant and biofertilizing capabilities is obtained. This compost, in turn, is subsequently reapplied to the vineyard, thus slowing down soil degradation and improving its biodiversity.

During the meetings, details about the implementation of the management and composting system were discussed, as well as the support and technical advice offered by the project to carry out a pilot experience. Lastly, the results obtained in relation to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the improvement of vineyard soils were presented.
