Belguardo Srl Soc. Agr

Results validated by DNV

The Belguardo estate was purchased by the Mazzei family in the 1990s. Since its acquisition, the estate has been managed with respect and in line with the group's production philosophy, aimed at enhancing native grape varieties as an expression of the territory's identity. Nestled on the hills between Grosseto and Montiano, near the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Belguardo estate is one of the most important wineries in the area, with a total area of ​​80 hectares, approximately half of which (48 hectares) is dedicated to specialized vineyards. The estate is divided into four different parcels: Belguardo, Sughera, Poggio Bronzone, and Val di Toro. Native grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Alicante, and Vermentino are cultivated, as well as international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.

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.

VINEYARD Indicator

VINEYARD indicator measures the agricultural practices impact: the use of agrochemicals and their effects on ground water, air and soil quality; the soil management which includes the use of fertilizers; the management of organic materials; phenomena such as compaction and erosion and other activities that can affect biodiversity. The impact of such parameters are expressed on a scale from A to E (A = minimal environmental impact; E = strong environmental impact).

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.
