Italian multinational collaborates with WINEGRID and confirms itself as a pioneer that integrates cutting-edge technologies into its winemaking solutions.
Enartis, an Italian multinational operating in the market of enological products and services and part of the Esseco Group, is once again at the forefront of technology in winemaking processes. Due to a partnership with WINEGRID, a Portuguese engineering company specializing in winemaking monitoring solutions, Enartis will exclusively distribute WINEGRID innovative solutions worldwide which detect critical production data in real-time during the various stages of winemaking. The obtained information is analyzed and interpreted through advanced algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies within a proprietary information system on a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform.
In line with Enartis’ mission to support wineries around the world to achieve ever-higher wine quality, the WINEGRID technology now distributed by Enartis will enable winemakers to improve decision-making, increasing the efficiency of their wineries. In fact, due to refined analysis and forecasting capabilities, winemakers will be able to intervene promptly with corrective actions in cases of suboptimal parameters.

“This partnership meets our primary vocation of always being one step ahead in our industry. The interaction with the most advanced forms of technology proposed by WINEGRID, including Artificial Intelligence, allows us to offer, not only solutions and control, but strategic design of wines with a systematic and scientific approach,” says Piermario Ticozzelli, Strategic Business Director of Enartis.
Indeed, the proposed innovative technology allows wine producers to constantly monitor the winemaking process and perform predictive analysis of their production, minimizing the need for product sampling and analysis during processing.
“For us, Enartis represents access to proximity with the wine production sector in all nations and the perfect integration between two worlds of expertise born separately, but naturally complementary. Together we listen to the ‘voice’ of wine and provide the solutions to its needs,” says Rogério Nogueira, CEO and Co-founder of WINEGRID.
Always committed to combining innovation and quality for products and services for enology, Enartis along with WINEGRID, projects the sector into the future and brings the concept of “Smart Enology” to increase competitiveness and efficiency in the winery, while constantly respecting and enhancing the identity of the wine.
