Sustainability

Sustainability score: 6/10

Medium-sized Friuli producer with some sustainable farming practices including water conservation and reduced chemical use.

Jakot’s 2021 Friulano reflects moderate sustainability effort typical for mid-sized producers in Friuli region. While not certified organic or biodynamic, they implement some sustainable vineyard management strategies and aim to reduce environmental impact with careful water use and packaging. Carbon emissions exist due to export logistics, but local grape sourcing helps mitigate overall footprint.
