Yesterday afternoon, at the Ecomondo trade show in Rimini, the Caviro Group presented Caviro Extra, the new brand that will take the place of the historic Caviro Distillerie, known throughout the sector for its biorefining expertise. The activities and aims of the new brand were illustrated by Fabio Baldazzi, General Manager at Caviro Extra, together with Carlo Dalmonte, president of the Caviro Group, SimonPietro Felice, Managing Director of the Caviro Group and Sergio Celotti, Managing Director of Enomondo.
With over 30,000 hectares of vineyards, 30 cooperative wineries, 12,500 winemaker partners in 7 regions and an output of 700,000 tonnes of grapes, the Caviro Group is the leading Italian cooperative in the wine sector, yet its greatest competitive advantage lies in its ability to harness and enhance the qualities of its individuals.
“We are a large and complex organisation, a unique cooperative group,” underlines Carlo Dalmonte, president of the Caviro Group. “For decades we have invested in the construction of a model in which wine and by-products complement each other, representing sources of mutual added value. This approach has enabled us to become a standard bearer in the circular economy and is a path we intend to keep following.”
From the evolution of the historic distillation business, today, Extra guarantees high levels of expertise in 100% bio-based biorefinement together with the best technology and processing skills, striving for excellence in environmental protection and achieving the levels of performance associated with the circular economy.
“Extra”, a short word that exists in many languages, suggests excellence and added value: the creation of significant corporate economic value which, rather than impoverishing the environment, enriches it. The new “Extra” brand also aims to highlight the richness of agricultural and agri-food products, as well as the quality that can be created by operating in the name of nature and with respect for its resources.
According to the Managing Director SimonPietro Felice the name “Extra” reflects the essence of the Group, encapsulating the excellence of a business founded on the passion and dedication of its many workers, thanks to whom the by-products, previously defined as waste, are treated and put to use in the community, generating income but also huge environmental benefits”..
In fact, Caviro Extra‘s commitment to innovation extends to the production of energy from renewable sources, such as advanced biomethane, promoting sustainable mobility. Caviro Extra’s dedication to the circular economy model will allow the entire Caviro Group to present an excellent sustainability report in 2019, adhering to the cooperative philosophy of sharing benefits and value – for its members, for the community and for the environment. We believed in change as a Group,” Felice emphasised, “and we will benefit from it as a Group.”
Caviro Group has always paid close attention to occupational safety, prioritising it both in the education of its stakeholders and in its practical work. The president, Carlo Dalmonte, recently announced an innovative initiative to promote protocols designed to prevent accidents in the agricultural and agri-food world: “In Vino Securitas”. This event will take place on 23 November at Teatro Masini in Faenza, and is open to the public and the press.
