The “Adotta un vigneto” project is a digital project that allows borrow (or gift adoption) rows of vineyards owned by small Italian winemakers, organic, biodynamic or practicing sustainable or precision agriculture, supporting them economically and relationally.

‍

OBJECTIVES:

1. Digital transition

Adoption, which involves a minimum expenditure of 15€, allows actively contribute to the digital transformation of farms, thanks to the “Agriculture 4.0” fund that Agribit - the company that owns the project - has created for them. Part of the proceeds are transferred to the “piggy bank” of the Fund for allow winemakers, over time, to be able to take advantage of precision agriculture services/products with a view to improving production, in terms of both economic savings and the quality of the products offered.

2. Create relationships: for winemakers, donors become co-producers/producers

The unique experience of adopting a vineyard, drinking its product and monitoring its conditions during the year allows people to get closer to the agricultural world, creating a unique and personal bond with local winemakers, through remote tastings or on the farm.

DONATION DETAILS:

For privates, the cost of adoption includes (based on the expense incurred):

• The certificate of personal adoption of a vineyard lasting 1 year
• The wine box for 2, 3 or 6 bottles
• Shipping costs
• The ability to monitor the vineyard thanks to updates from the winemaker
• The opportunity to visit the vineyard and the cellar
• The online tasting for 2 people
• The tasting at the company for 2 people

‍

Le firms they can create their own digital company vineyard or give away technological services or products to help wineries optimize the management of their vineyards.

‍COMMITMENT TO CALCULATING THE CO₂ ABSORBED BY THE VINEYARDS

The absorption of CO₂ of the vineyards of the winemakers participating in the project is calculated based on scientific research and publications. In particular, the University of Florence has estimated, thanks to an infrared meter, that one hectare of vineyard is capable of absorbing up to 15 tons of CO₂ per year, the equivalent of the emissions of 5 medium-sized cars that travel about 15,000 km per year.
Plants, which fix CO through photosynthesis₂ in the form of organic carbon, they are the most suitable organisms to limit the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide because, in addition to the direct reduction of this gas, they are able to trigger a positive feedback that leads to the improvement of the microclimate.
