In the vineyard, we have always valued cover crops. In winter, they protect against the leaching of nitrates in the soil. In spring, they create a habitat for beneficial insects and many other organisms that are crucial for good biodiversity in the vineyard. Many of the cover crops also begin to bloom, providing a food source for bees and bumblebees. Once the plants have finished blooming, we roll them over. This creates a natural cover over the soil, protecting it from drying out. Finally, the cover crops, through decomposition by microorganisms, contribute to natural humus formation, improved water retention, and soil structure.
