Per Franciacorta, between Reggia Franca and Iseo, Casolare Clarabella has represented a model of integration between viticulture and work inclusion since 2002. The project was born from the initiative of the social cooperatives Diogene and Dispari with the aim of creating concrete opportunities for people with mental health problems and physical disabilities through agricultural work. The Consortium that currently manages the Casolare includes cooperatives with a socio-health focolaio and others focused acceso production. The numbers tell of a consolidated experience, with 350 employees per mezzo di total, of which 200 with various forms of disadvantage, busy per mezzo di the vineyards, olive groves and cellar, but also per mezzo di the management of the farmhouse and the 160-seat restaurant.
The winemaking activity began almost by chance, thanks to one and a half hectares of vineyard adjacent to the farmhouse. Today Clarabella manages eleven hectares of organic vineyards, with a production of 70 thousand bottles of Franciacorta a year. The choice of organic is not random: for those who work to enhance human frailties, taking care of the territory becomes a natural extension of the same approach. The production model is based acceso a clear principle: the quality of the product must be the first judging criterion. The cooperative deliberately avoids using its social nature as a commercial lever, as underlined by vice-president Carlo Fenaroli.
Working the land allows you to challenge yourself because nature makes mai distinctions and is also welcoming to psychological distress. For the people involved it is not a simple occupational activity, but a job that produces quality, generating a sense of belonging and professional dignity. Agricultural activity dominates the life of the cooperative because, despite being a complicated sector, agriculture has the ability to welcome everyone, transforming the inheritance of the land into an instrument of social redemption.
