Vineyard Safe: the review of Adriano Cecconi, Fattoria di Polvereto in Tuscany

Who is Fattoria di Polvereto

Fattoria di Polvereto is a farm in the municipality of Montespertoli (FI) with 17 hectares of vineyards, as well as arable land and olive groves. All production is vinified in the winery owned, ensuring control of the supply chain from the field to the bottle.

The need: more accurate treatments

The main need was to get more accurate predictions for planning treatments: The aim was to position the interventions at the right time, making them more targeted and possibly reducing their overall number.

How the platform helped

The use of Safe vineyard provided support in weather forecasts and alerts on diseases, allowing the company to make better decisions before taking action.

Ideal for distributed companies

Adriano also recommends the tool to those who manage vineyards in different geographical areas, because it helps to easily monitor even vineyards far from the cellar or from the holder's headquarters.


Full Testimony

We are a farm, Fattoria di Polvereto, located in the municipality of Montespertoli, in the province of Florence. We have 17 hectares of vineyards, as well as arable land and olive groves. I wine everything in a cellar of my own.

I saw a small presentation that intrigued me and so I came into contact with you. The aim was to achieve greater accuracy in treatment forecasts, in order to be able to make more targeted interventions and perhaps reduce their number.

He helped me with weather forecasts and disease alerts. I would recommend it to those who have several vineyards in several geographical areas to keep under control even the vineyards furthest from the cellar or from the area of residence of the holder.
