The Atla vineyards are located on the hills surrounding Castelnuovo di Garda, a
few kilometers south-east of Garda Lake. They are located on the edge of the
Dolomites, where ancient glaciers formed the alpine region. The particularly mild
micro-climate allows the growth of some Mediterranean climate plants like vines,
olive trees or even citrus, which are extremely rare at this latitude (46° North).
Atla has embraced the principles of sustainability in the management of our
vineyards. Spontaneous grassing is used in all our vineyards allowing the creation
of a habitat rich in biodiversity of both plants and animals; techniques such as the
alternate mowing of the rows allow the development of wildlife in the vineyard.
The maintenance of biodiversity is fundamental, therefore, in addition to the vines,
they manage and protect all the neighboring areas (groves, wetlands, refuge
areas) that allow the presence of many different species. Since 2012, the winery
has adhered to the main national protocols of sustainable wine production,
participating in the Tergeo project of Unione Italiana Vini.
