Integrated Project "Pole of Carignano"

ManWell has always been very close and committed to the problems related to ecological sustainability; as a demonstration, our corporate actively supports the Integrated Project "Pole of Carignano" in the Italian town of Portoscuso (CI) - in Sardinia - from where the quality agro industrial sector is promoted as a matter of peculiar interest. It becomes a synonym of exceptional scenarios, by adopting an agronomical healthy and respectful policy of the origins and properties of the different territories.

The Integrated Project "Pole of Carignano" puts together the towns of Portoscuso, Bergamo, Latina and Cerreto Guidi (FI), with the aim of an agronomical reutilization and of an optimum promotion of the landscapes. Such different and far territories have a real proper "policy of doing" in common, come out of the synergy among the Doctor and Researcher Rita Mulas (chief of the entire Project and technical director of the meetings at Villa Medicea), the local authorities, the associations, some private members and the Master of San Vigilio in Bergamo, as a point of internal reference inside the Expo2015 fair.

The project involves very important people of Italian enology, agronomics, research such as Gaspare Buscemi, Leonello Anello, Daniele Marchi, Franco Mulas, Paolo Callioni e Manuel Amorini and its aim is to create a biodynamic modern and natural wine growing and producing centre with the establishment of an experimental ecologic winery, where a small quality productive area of autochthonous grapes can be recreated thanks to a reimplantation and reorganization of the vineyards in non-polluted industrial areas, far, for instance, from Portovesme.

In short, the goal of the "Pole" is the realization of an economy that can be compatible and respectful of the environment and of its uncountable properties.

The "ViaGrande StudioS" project
