The company has 50 hectares and produce, select, pack and distribute white grapes (Victoria and Italia) and red grapes (Black Magic and Palieri) which they harvest only in summer, packing and trading them from the first half of July until December.
"Last year our company processed and traded about 3,000 tons of grapes" Domenico Crescina, company owner together with Pasquale Difino, says.
The company has a 1,200 square metre modern building, provided with a processing room, pre-cooling stores and areas where products packed in the vineyards are kept. They select medium-high quality bunches and pack them outdoor as well. They put grapes in traditional plastic boxes without any kind of processing. After packing, grapes are bought to the company where they are kept in pre-cooling stores. In the processing centre, superior quality grapes (in the picture below) are selected and carefully packed in wooden boxes with foam wrapping. Production is mainly aimed to large-scale distribution.
"We are also trading in foreign markets such as Poland, Russia and Lithuania," Domenico explains. "Last year, supply was higher than demand and products, despite being good, had low prices from the beginning to the end of the campaign."
"For this campaign, we expect medium-high quality products, but with low prices that will not respect the relation quality/price. However, the campaign has not started yet so we cannot make detailed predictions."
