In short, I also involved my brother Alberto in what is still the greatest love story of my life after my daughter and my wife. Transforming a cooperative into a model company dedicated to the production of quality wines with great attention to the environment is a challenge won, COVID permitting. Botromagno today produces 250 thousand bottles from 45 hectares of owned vines all conducted under organic conditions. We manage the company in an environmentally sustainable regime by offsetting CO² emissions thanks to 35 hectares of forest and the solar panels that will provide us with all the energy we need by 2022.” If you want to learn more visit: Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/botromagnovini/ Instagramhttps://instagram.com/botromagnovini?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Twitter @botromagnovini Website www.botromagno.it More about the moderator Stevie Kim: Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
