It is the hope and the conviction of believing in the possibility of combining life, work and acceptance of social hardship that brings the “La Collina Agricultural Cooperative” to life.

 

La Collina was born in 1975 by a group of 12 young people from Reggio Emilia, who became 21 over the years, who started the agricultural activity based first on vines, fodder, cereals and cattle and pig breeding, later extended to the cultivation of vegetables.

 

After the first years experimented with conventional agriculture, in 1985, it was decided to adopt an organic farming method and then in 1996, we moved on to cultivation following the principles of biodynamics.

 

These methodologies are followed not only for the protection of the environment, but also for the well-being of man, respecting the production limits of biodiversity and soil fertility.

 

Of the 5 hectares planted with native vines such as Maestri, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Ancellotta, Salamino and Malbo Gentile, about 30,000 bottles are produced a year.
