Cantine Colomba Bianca Soc. Coop. Agr.

Results validated by DNV

Cantine Colomba Bianca Soc. Coop. Agr. was founded in 1970.
Since 1996 the company is led by president Leonardo Taschetta, and thanks to his commitment and his vision, it became one of the largest Sicilian wine-making cooperatives.
Today, the company counts 2480 members and it extends over 6900 hectares of vineyards mainly located in the province of Trapani, with 6 wineries across the territory. Vineyards are placed in particular areas characterised by a wide climatic and soil diversity, from the coastal zone to an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. 24% of the wine production is organic certified.
Our MISSION
We work hard to guarantee high quality standards to our products and for our farmers, so that they can receive a fair compensation for their work. This means giving dignity to the Sicilian agriculture and to our wines, that best express our territory.
The synergy of our Winemaking Team and Colomba Bianca Viticultural Office allows us to develop grapes selection and high-quality projects, in collaboration with our wine-growers.
In 2020, Colomba Bianca decided to go down the road of SUSTAINABILITY in Viticulture by joining the VIVA project.
The subscription to VIVA project is an important and necessary step for Colomba Bianca: we think it’s a moral duty, as well as an act of responsibility, to preserve the environment that surrounds us.

AIR Indicator

AIR indicator reflects the total greenhouse gas emission directly or indirectly associated with the company activities (GHG Inventory).
Total emissions are divided into six categories: Category 1 – Direct GHG emissions; Category 2 – Indirect GHG emissions from imported energy; Category 3 – Indirect GHG emissions from transportation; Category 4 – Indirect GHG emissions from products used by organization; Category 5 – Indirect GHG emissions associated with the use of products from the organization (NS=Non Significant as outside the reporting boundaries); Category 6 – Indirect GHG emissions from other sources.
The result is graphically represented by the ring in which the colored segments represent the contribution of each Category.

WATER Indicator

The WATER indicator expresses the potential environmental impacts resulting from the use of fresh water. It takes into account the water directly consumed and polluted by the activities that the company carries out, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, during a calendar year. These impacts are evaluated by two indicators: in particular, water scarcity (Direct Water Scarcity Footprint) depends on the water drawn from water bodies, while the estimate of the qualitative degradation of water (Non-Comprehensive Direct Water Degradation Footprint) derives from processes of re-naturalization of the water bodies.

TERRITORY Indicator

TERRITORY indicator assesses the impact of winery's activities on its surrounding area and local community. This includes: the impact on surrounding biodiversity, taking also into account initiatives carried out by the wine company to protect and preserve the environment; the social and economic impact on local workforce (both in terms of job creation and job quality); the impact on local communities that is producers and consumers. Such indicator analyses whether the winery has respected the socio-economic parameters required by the project.
