At Alma Carraovejas, sustainability is part of our culture. It shapes every decision we make and every process we undertake, becoming a defining element of our identity—a guiding principle that reflects who we are and how we operate.
We have embedded Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into our strategy, pursuing sustainable development not only through the three traditional pillars—economic, environmental, and social—but also by incorporating two additional dimensions: people and ethical governance.

Within each of these areas, we implement specific actions and measurable goals that guide our daily efforts to achieve a balance between meeting present needs and safeguarding the opportunities of future generations.
As a result of our commitment and our unwavering dedication to our values, Alma Carraovejas has joined the B Corp movement, becoming the first group of wineries and restaurants in Spain to earn this certification. This achievement stems from a genuine conviction and a set of principles that have been deeply rooted in our organization since its inception, always aligned with a culture of care, responsibility, and environmental stewardship.
At Alma Carraovejas, we believe that the commitments we make today help build a better future for generations to come. We embrace continuous improvement as an ongoing journey of growth and evolution, guided by respect, authenticity, and a shared ecosystem that we all help create and protect.

Sustainable Viticulture
- At Alma Carraovejas, we are committed to sustainable viticulture and organic vineyard management. Our practices include restoring soil microbiology through cover crops and mulching; enhancing the rhizosphere with tailored organic fertilization and the introduction of beneficial microorganisms such as mycorrhizae and Trichoderma; and replacing synthetic chemicals and plant protection products with biological control methods, organic fertilizers, and careful monitoring of environmental conditions and vineyard biodiversity.
- We apply biodynamic farming practices across all our winegrowing projects. Marañones and Ossian are certified by DEMETER for Biodynamic Agriculture, and the remaining projects are currently progressing through the certification process.
Waste Management and Circular Economy
- Repurposing vine pruning residues to produce paper pulp used in the manufacture of boxes and labels, as well as biomass for renewable energy generation.
- Managing by-products such as grape pomace and developing zero-waste recipes at Ambivium Restaurant, where surplus ingredients from culinary preparations are transformed into new gastronomic creations.
- Source separation of waste to facilitate the recycling of all materials generated across our operations, including packaging, glass, cardboard, and other recyclables.
- Donating corks to support social initiatives, including a partnership with the Parkinson’s Association of Soria.
