Organic viticulture practices protect Brancaia's soil, air, water, and improve the flavor and character of the grapes and wine. As of 2019, Brancaia is a certified organic winery. The company is convinced that the foundation for making the best wine is laid in the vineyard. Choosing the grape variety and the right clone is fundamental to producing the perfect wine. Old vines also have advantages in terms of climate change. The vines that have thrived at Brancaia for over 25 years have adapted perfectly to the environment with micro changes in their DNA. The Brancaia winery includes about 40 hectares of vineyards in Chianti Classico (Castellina in Chianti and Radda in Chianti) and another 40 hectares in Maremma. Brancaia's employees work over 450 hours per hectare in the vineyards before the grapes enter the cellar. It's mostly manual labor, as is the entire harvest. Brancaia has been using a decision support system (DSS) since 2015. The DSS is an IT platform that collects real-time data from weather stations and ground probes. This information is evaluated using advanced technology and provides useful information to make decisions about possible interventions or upcoming tillage. Since 2012, Brancaia has been enhancing the complexity and authenticity of wines through spontaneous fermentation. Thanks to the natural yeast flora, Brancaia wines are not only technically advanced and elegant but also extremely authentic.
