A SPECIFIC EVENT
This led the Unione Italiana Vini, which has always been at the fore when it comes to the transfer of innovations from suppliers to users and in training and information activities in the wine sector, to dedicate a specific event, every two years, to the presentation and testing of this type of equipment, machinery and products designed specifically for use in the above environments, i.e. high slopes, limited planting layouts and small manoeuvering spaces where manoeuverability and the ability to operate in confined spaces are essential.
WHO IS IT FOR?
In addition to the quality of the wines they produce, "heroic" vineyards also represent an extreme defence system for the protection of the territory. However, they are also characterised by very high production costs if compared to viticulture on the plain or areas where mechanisation can be almost complete. Furthermore, even if the cultivation operations can be mechanised, it is necessary to use operating machines and equipment specifically designed and intended for use in very particular conditions, produced and built almost all by hand.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Trentino and Val di Cembra will be the extraordinary backdrop for the 3rd edition of Enovitis extrême, a demonstration fair dedicated to technologies for “heroic viticulture”, viticulture characterised by steep slopes and confined spaces.
After Valle d’Aosta and Alto Adige, ultra-compact tractors, transporters, minidumpers and all the specifically designed equipment will be at work on 10 July 2025 in the vineyards surrounding the Cembra Cantina di Montagna - Val di Cembra, in the town by the same name.
The winery is located at 700 metres above sea level, one of the "highest" in Italy, was founded in 1952 thanks to the bold initiative led by a small group of winemakers. Over the decades, these winemakers have been joined by others to reach about 300 contributing members today.
Terraced vineyards to address slopes whose gradient can be up to 40%, manual work up to 900 - 1,000 hours/hectare and an average of just under 3 hectares cultivated for each winemaker. The ideal place to showcase and test modern technologies for extreme viticulture.
UNIONE ITALIANA VINI has been organising the event known as Enovitis in campo since 1998. This is the first and only demonstration exhibition of national importance dedicated to the testing of technologies for the cultivation of vineyards actually in the vineyards, the next edition of which is scheduled for 18 and 19 June 2025 in Abruzzo. Building on the experience acquired in 18 editions of Enovitis in campo, with Enovitis extrême, the Unione Italiana Vini completes the varied mosaic for the promotion of technologies for Italian and international viticulture.
