periods in the vineyard year.

These include legumes, grasses, and flowering plants. Each species serves a precise agricultural function within the vineyard ecosystem.\u00a0<br \/>Legumes naturally fix nitrogen in the soil.\u00a0<br \/>Grasses improve soil structure and support deeper root penetration.\u00a0<br \/>Flowering varieties increase biodiversity and encourage beneficial insects.\u00a0<br \/>These crops are chosen deliberately, based on the needs of the vineyard soil in Chianti Classico.\u00a0<br \/>As spring approaches, these plants are gradually incorporated back into the earth in a controlled and mindful way. This process enriches the soil with organic matter, improves its structure, and enhances microbial life. When Belvedere\u00a01\u00a0prepare\u00a0Tuscany\u00a0soil, the goal is never\u00a0short-term\u00a0fertility, but\u00a0long-term\u00a0vitality.
