Student Awards in memoriam of Giovanni Andrea Cornia

Distinguished Professor of Development Economics Former Director UNU-WIDER and Chief Economist at UNICEF A special interest on Macroeconomics and Inequality   Adjustment with a Human Face (2001) “‘Adjustment with a Human Face’ is the name we have given to the range of economic and other policy measures which we believe are needed. ‘Adjustment’ indicates that for most of the developing countries, these policies must be part and parcel of the national ‘adjustment’ policies widely adopted to tackle the economic crises facing these countries – the acute deficits in the balance of payments and the government budget, often also rapid inflation rates and negligible or negative economic growth. The ‘human face’ indicates the need for the human implications of an adjustment policy to be made an integral part of adjustment policy as a whole, not to be treated as an additional welfare component. (…) The call for a more people-sensitive approach to adjustment is more than matter of economic good sense or political expediency. Ultimately it rests on the ethic of human solidarity, of concern for others, of human response to human suffering.”

Our Prize Sponsor: Who Are They?

Società Agricola Eleva.

Eighteen downward-sloping terraces sustained by the traditional dry-stone walls of the Valpolicella area (“le marogne”), surrounded by the woods: that’s the Eleva vineyards, in the hamlet Conca d’Oro, Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella.

Six hectares in a single plot, cultivated with vines and in part with olive groves, nestled in a natural hollow that overlooks the valley forged by the Adige than together with the influence of Lake Garda and the Lessini mountains create an ideal microclimate for maturation of excellent grapes cared with extreme care.

Here owners Raffaella Veroli and Davide Gaeta cultivate the biological vineyards with a great respect for the environment and for the people who live in and visit this territory.

The vines coltived on the estate are typical of the area: Corvina Veronese and Corvinone are the most present and represent 60% of the vineyards. Rondinella and a group of other non-aromatic red berried grapes follow: Croatina, Teroldego, Oseleta and Merlot. The average age of the vines ranges from 10 years (for Merlot and Teroldego) to 20 years (for all the others).

All the production processes from the care of the vine in the field to the harvest and subsequent vinification are carried out with an approach that integrates tradition with innovation, to create wines  that tell the terroir in search of excellence, with an elegant and characteristic but not obvious imprint.

This is the philosophy behind every wine of Società Agricola Eleva.
