The Barolo Challenge: Mitigating Water Stress

Nebbiolo is a temperamentally sensitive varietal. In the prestigious hills of Barolo, water management determines the balance of tannins and fruit. Agrotech Intelligence employs deep-soil sensors and evapotranspiration models to predict hydration needs 72 hours in advance.

  • Precision Pulse Irrigation: Targeted delivery that prevents root rot while ensuring the vine remains productive during heatwaves.
  • Predictive Soil Health: AI models analyze historical humidity and mineral saturation to optimize output.

The Franciacorta Challenge: Canopy Management

Lombardy's sparkling wine icons demand exact sun exposure for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Our drone-based AI platforms generate high-resolution leaf-to-fruit ratio maps, allowing for surgical thinning strategies.

By identifying areas of excessive shading or overcrowding, Agrotech Intelligence enables estates to achieve uniform ripeness—the foundation of world-class Metodo Classico.

Visualizing Canopy Density

Our AI turns drone imagery into actionable intelligence. Using NVDI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and spatial analytics, we identify areas needing thinning with surgical precision.

  • Uniform ripeness across hectares
  • Significant reduction in manual labor costs
  • Optimized sun exposure for premium varietals
