Vineyard Safe: the review of Vincenzo Barreca, winemaker in Calabria

A vineyard for passion

Vincenzo cultivates a small vineyard for pure personal pleasure, without commercial purposes. He produces a wine that pleases him and others, finding satisfaction in working the land.

The plague of downy mildew

He discovered Safe vineyard on Facebook. What struck him immediately was the reference to downy mildew, the main problem of his anomalous year of rain. Being a neophyte, he was looking for practical help.

Precise location and remote monitoring

The application allowed him to precisely locate the vineyard on the map and to monitor it remotely. Rain forecasts turned out to be correct and the risk index was the reference point for organising treatments.

Phenomenal results

The result? A ‘phenomenal’ harvest, even ‘exploded’. For a beginner, go through the fear of peronospora to full satisfaction is a concrete success.

Advice from a friend

He calls Vigneto Sicuro a real ‘toccasana’ and would recommend it to a friend. All he can do is share the positive experience.


Full Testimony

Hello, I have a small vineyard for passion, I do not work there for trade, but I produce a wine that I like and that I like, and I like to work this small vineyard.

I saw the advertisement on Facebook, it struck me that you were talking about downy mildew, that for me was a bit of a scourge, thanks to a year of anomalous rains. I am a neophyte and I learn gradually.

Here, it helped me a lot because we located exactly on the map where the vineyard is located. I was able to monitor the condition of the vineyard from a distance. When he brought me that there was rain, it actually rained. It gave me the risk index and I relied on it to do the treatments.

I had a harvest that was phenomenal, that is, it exploded, so I am fully satisfied. I found a cure-all in this, so I give a friend good advice, don't I? Since I felt good, I would recommend it.
