The reasons behind the Award

The comment of President Dalmonte
«We are very honoured to receive this Award, that I dedicate to our 12,400 farmer partners – said Carlo Dalmonte, president of Caviro. Ours is a story revolving around the grape, in a circle that is not only ideal but also real. Thanks to circular economy, Caviro does not produce waste but only raw materials according to an approach where environmental protection and business are not in contrast, and deeply aware that people nowadays show a growing interest in buying from a responsible production chain».
