Areas of applications

 

We carry out field trials in vineyards of different age, variety, wine-growing areas or different designations of origin, assessing the adaptation to the environment of varieties and optimising the quality of the grape and wine produced from micro-vinifications. 

Physiological measures in the strain allow us to evaluate the biotic and abiotic stress of plants, water needs, nutritional needs, pathogen resistance.

Real-time tracking of agroclimatic variables allows for calibrating the effect of external conditions on grape quality, plant response, and how the viticultor can work the strain and environment to adapt the plant to variables  

The determination of the state of phenolic ripening of the grapes of black varieties serves to determine the date of the grape harvest and modulate the type of extraction to be made later in the cellar.
