Sustainable Winery Practice for March

Installing skylights in all new roof projects

Skylights in the cellars at BARGETTO WINERY

Sunlight is free and saves on electricity. Skylights help by reducing electrical

lighting needs which in turn cuts down on global warming. In several sections

of the winery, including the laboratory, fermentation room and tasting room we

have had skylights for decades. In our new roof over the barrel aging area of the winery we have installed two new skylights.

This year as we replace the 62– year–old cedar shingle roof our plan is to install four new skylights. These skylights will provide free and fuller lighting for the cellar; while cutting down significatly on electrical lighting in the main wine cellar.

This is good for our monthly bills and for the environment.
