Here we are in Nieve (Piedmont), one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy" (see the website www.borghipiubelliditalia.it) and part of the "Romantic Road of Langhe and Roero" (visit the official website); a route characterized by 11 villages with as many unique panoramas.

To understand the meaning of "organic wine" you shall start from the wine and its production.

If you want to practice the true organic wine tourism, choose Organic Wineries that are certified as such, for the simple reason that they do not fear to be assessed by an independent body against the European Union rules  (New European Regulation of 2012).

This tourist approach is part of the broader concept of "sustainable tourism", which means an attention to every form of consumption to have a minimal impact on Man and Nature health (thus eg practicing bicycle tourism, enjoy hotels or farmhouses who practice the same philosophy).

Tenuta La Favola "In front of you the vineyards and the sea, on your skin the fresh breeze from the hill"

Today we would like to speak about describe Valeria's property, Owner of Tenuta La Favola, where she welcomes guests and artists as friends. We tried to summarize it in three points which we feel are the best to understand and appreciate the environment and lifestyle.

Sure you can! And you get a complex wine on the nose and the palate.

This is not a technical study, we leave it for a different sort of Magazine.

Homeopathy to treat both themselves and plants like the screw - the "holistic" philosophy Loacker family adopts in their business initiative.

In this context "holistic" means take care and treat the individual as a whole, both physically and mentally. Loacker family is so entrenched in this philosophy that they apply it to the care of the vineyards they own in South Tyrol and Tuscany.

Look at this interesting parallel of homeopathic human-plant remedies below:

• Arnica for humans: the plant to which they are attributed anti-inflammatory properties, anti-edema, antitraumatiche, antirheumatic, analgesic (Taken from http://www.my-personaltrainer.it/erboristeria/arnica.html)
• arnica for the vine: it is somehow the same thing because it serves to repair the damage caused by hail to the vines and grapes
• Aconitum for humans: it is used for inflammation and fever, and also to prevent heart attacks
• aconitum for the vine: is used against sudden infections quickly solve
• silicate to humans: is a powder obtained from crushed rock crystal; It is used to treat the nervous system up to the lymphatic, inflammatory processes of the mucous membranes.
• silicate for the screw: helping to strengthen the structure of the leaves and shoots.

In practice they treat the Vine as a human being, make it stronger without the use of chemicals that over time generate resistance as antibiotics for humans ... you recover faster from sickness, but you get sick more often because you lose the ability to "self-defense" .
