[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”testo-pagina a-pagina”]In Italy we have more than 60 indigenous breeds, some of them widespread and someothers existing in just a few dozens. Farming indigenous breeds allows not only to preseve them but it also contributes mantaining the biodiversity of our mountains. In fact there are plants, bugs and microorganism woose perfect habitat is only where sheeps graze.
\nOf all those breeds a few are merinizzate, that means they have the original genetics from which merinos have been selected over the years.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”col-img”][vc_column width=”2\/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1654585461683{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”testo-flex”]<\/p>\n

MILDRED<\/h2>\n

Mildred is the face of our flocks, her family line is composed of generations of Sopravvissana sheeps. She and her sisters born, grow and graze on the green mountains of Appennino Abruzzese, surrounded by the uncontaminated nature of our National Parks.<\/p>\n

Sopravvissana is an indigenous sheep breed from central regions of Italy and it is also one of the merinizzata breeds we talked about earlyer. She is historically bred in center Italy because her thin and agile body makes her perfect to move around the rough slopes of Appennino mountains.<\/p>\n

Those beautiful ladies are the ones that produces the wool we sell and work with to obtain our yarns and products.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/5″ el_class=”img-background” css=”.vc_custom_1655453509815{background-image: url(https:\/\/lamantera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_0251.jpg?id=29181) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”col-img”][vc_column width=”3\/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1655453521867{background-image: url(https:\/\/lamantera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/20200909_175020.jpg?id=29180) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”img-background”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/5″][vc_column_text el_class=”testo-flex”]<\/p>\n

OUR WOOL<\/h2>\n

Mildred’s wool is good because it is gathered and processed being respectful of the sheeps, of the land, of those work it and of everyone who would like to buy and use it.<\/p>\n
