Sustainability

Sustainability score: 8/10

BiancaVigna implements integrated pest management, solar energy use in the winery, reduced water consumption through recirculation systems, recyclable lightweight glass bottles, natural cork closures, and reduced chemical input in vineyards

The BiancaVigna estate is a recognized leader in Prosecco sustainability, holding certification from Equalitas for sustainable winery practices. While not fully organic, the estate employs significant environmental protections including energy and water conservation, renewable electricity, light packaging, and minimal intervention agriculture. Its carbon footprint is further reduced within Europe by proximity to markets but rises with overseas export. Overall, it represents best-in-class sustainability among major Prosecco producers, just short of top organic or biodynamic standards.
