Sustainability

Sustainability score: 5/10

Unknown; typical Albariño producers often use sustainable farming but no explicit details available for this brand

Albariño production sometimes focuses on minimal intervention, and lightweight bottles are common in this category which slightly reduces footprint. However, lack of certifications and unknown practices suggest moderate sustainability score.
