From an agronomic point of view, all Riecine vineyards have been cultivated under an ICEA-certified organic regime since 2006. They all have plant covers, weeding between the rows is purely mechanical, and topping and stripping has been completely eliminated. The aim here is to tackle the increasingly severe and sudden effects of climate change: it is generally encouraged to choose natural ways to protect the soil from excessive evaporation and to protect the vines themselves from the sun’s rays and increasingly high summer temperatures. Efforts are also being made to promote the settlement of native microfauna.

Riecine is a combination of what is naturally bestowed by the earth and the creative ingenuity of man. From harvest to bottling, Riecine is a wine without compromise.

“When Baron Philippe de Rothschild plants Sangiovese, I will convert to Cabernet Sauvignon.”
