Bodegas Coviñas advocates sustainable oenology and so joins a project of r & d together with the technological centre Ainia enabling it to move in this direction. The project consists in knowing the real impact of the production of its wines on the atmosphere and the environment. This impact is known through the calculation of the so-called carbon footprint, thanks to which you can take steps to reduce the emission of gases that increase the effect greenhouse (GHG). This project is co-financed by the Impiva and Feder funds.
To learn about the carbon footprint analyses the grams of CO2 issued by the winery in all of its product life cycle, starting with the vineyard, going through the collection and processing of the grapes, until that sold the bottle of wineIt is consumed and recycled parts of the product. In other words, el rastro in emissions that left in the manufacture of a product until it reaches the consumer.
After obtaining the certificate of carbon footprint, Bodegas Coviñas will take the appropriate measures to reduce the negative impact that can generate the production of each of its wines on the atmosphere and the environment.
