The art of Sustainable Wine
La Casetta is a family run winery in the foothills of the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines which grows, vinifies and bottles its own products. Our company was set up in 1963 when Antonio and Angelo Errani made the countryside the passion of their work.
Angelo, linked to the University of Pisa, handles the fruit, experimenting with various cultures and holding pruning courses worldwide.
Antonio, a lover of wines and good cooking, began the production and transformation of grapes by selling their own wines directly from the winery.

Certified sustainability
In everyday work we combine tradition and innovation to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum and lower CO2 emissions. We try to work in the most sustainable way possible, maintaining a 360 ° vision, implementing protocols and working methods that are aimed at a low consumption of natural resources and a decrease in CO2 emissions.
We only use recycled organic fertilizers, thus maintaining a fertile soil following the natural way. We recycle winemaking waste products (such as pomace) as fertilization of vineyards. Every year we try to improve our quality and health of products...in a sustainable way.
2008
La Casetta installs 2 photovoltaic systems for a total power of 40 Kwp. This allows the company to produce all the energy it needs for wine processing. In addition to the photovoltaic systems, a charging column is also installed for business needs (recharging company electric cars) and for customers who need to recharge their electric vehicles
2013
We have always focused on greater environmental sustainability and this is the compass that guides us in everyday work. For this reason we using a corporate drone to map the field and to quickly and without verifying any areas of deficiency without environmental impacts
Using software, the images taken with the multispectral camera mounted on the drone are converted and a mapping of the vineyard is created from which the areas of high and low vigor are highlighted. This allows the different areas to be managed in a differentiated way by intervening only in those in which there is a need, with significant energy and economic savings in total respect for nature, significantly reducing CO2 emissions by avoiding the use of various agricultural machines throughout the vineyard.
2014
Activation of the DSS
(Decision Support System)
Our work continues hand in hand with our attention to product quality, the protection of our customers and respect for our planet.
Through a weather control unit installed in the field sent every hour all the microclimatic data to the DSS server with the forecast models inside. Depending on the temperature, wind, air humidity, forging humidity and soil moisture, the system is able to predict a possible infection.
Predicting infections allows us to intervene in a preventive way by drastically reducing the defense interventions in the field, lowering the impact on the ground and we increase exponentially the healthiness and naturalness of our products. In practice 2014 was a very difficult year for wineries. With frequent and abundant rains. The number of protection interventions carried out by the Companies of our Province was around 19/22 with a percentage of sick grapes of around 40%. We managed to intervene only 8 times with a percentage of sick grapes of 3%.
By starting the vinification with healthy grapes, you can't add excess sulphites and above all you can reach a better and completely natural product quality.
