This is the thinking behind several important strategic moves, such as the decision to adopt the most advanced systems of environmental protection (starting with generating their own energy), or, in another sector, the creation of a true winemaking Group, through the acquisition of vineyards in the two areas widely perceived as the most promising in Italy: Maremma and southeastern Sicily.
