Vandals in the vineyards, 120 Schioppettino vines sheared. The owners of the company “Il Roncat” denounce: “Mafia-style action”

TRICESIMO. Now a fixed target of vandals, the “Giovanni Dri Il Roncat” winery – which is based in Nimis but which owns a very large land in Fraelacco, in the Municipality of Tricesimo – has undergone the destruction of almost 120 Schioppettino vines: for the most part irrecoverable, the cut plants have caused an estimated loss of income on the order of 13 thousand euros.

“And this double episode, for which we filed a complaint with the carabinieri – the Dri family announced – follows another serious vandalism perpetrated in September 2020, which was also reported but, unfortunately, without success. At the time we had started, thanks to a regional funding, some improvement works in a pool of water usually used by the farmers of the area: being deep and therefore dangerous, in a special meeting with the mayor of Tricesimo and the inhabitants of Fraelacco we had I pointed out that for reasons of public safety we should have enclosed it, after dividing the water through the recovery of an old aqueduct. We had restored a fountain and installed a steel tank, which however, as soon as it was placed, was pierced in several places. This incident was also reported to the carabinieri, but it has never been ascertained with what instrument the tank was damaged ».

A pile of drainage pipes had also been targeted: «They had set it on fire – they reconstruct by the company -, and the flames had spread to some plants. At that point, the construction site was blocked ».

And now the “massacre” of the Schioppettino has arrived: first it was about fifty vines, days later to another seventy. “Damage not covered by insurance”, specify the Dri, who “exasperated by the situation” do not hesitate to talk about “mafia style” and say they are ready to install surveillance cameras. “There is no other solution,” they conclude, not hiding the fear of new raids.

In short, a very tense atmosphere, as confirmed by the mayor of Tricesimo, Giorgio Baiutti: «The climate – he says – has been very heavy, for a long time. There is never any justification for vandalism, they are deplorable and must be strongly condemned, no ifs and buts. On the other hand, we note that the Dri company has done little to try to alleviate an increasingly problematic situation, which has already resulted in complaints and counter-complaints, insights from the Forestry Corps, the Prosecutor’s Office and the municipal administration, which have received letters and reports of private individuals on facts that should be sanctioned “.

At the center of the diatribes the use of local roads and the aforementioned water basin, which as mentioned fall within the property of Il Roncat but which have always been used by other winemakers operating in the same context.
