Vinitaly 2025 has a section on work in the vineyards

Vinitaly, one of the biggest events in the world wine sector, which takes place until April 9th ​​in Verona (Italy), has opened space for a section dedicated exclusively to work in the vineyards.

The work exhibition was organized by FederUnacoma, the Italian federation of agricultural machinery manufacturers. It recreates the vineyard environment and showcases 11 types of specialized vehicles.

The equipment on display includes specialized tractors, grape harvesting vehicles and grape harvesters. All of these document the complete mechanization of viticulture, which, with increasingly sophisticated vehicles, can monitor the health of crops, perform ecological treatments and transport grapes in a way that preserves their properties intact.

Robotics and advanced digital systems are also part of the production process. The Verona exhibition includes three robots designed for crop protection and maintenance, capable of assessing crop needs and intervening autonomously and efficiently. These robots represent the future of viticulture, combining innovation and sustainability.

Mariateresa Maschio, President of FederUnacoma, highlighted the Italian industry’s leadership in vineyard technologies and specialty crops. “The Italian industry is a world leader because it has developed in direct contact with wineries and the unique needs and traditions of the producing regions,” said Maschio. She also highlighted that the expertise acquired in Italy’s diverse wine regions, such as the Langhe in Piedmont, the hills of Tuscany, the valleys of Veneto and Trentino, and the coasts of Puglia and Sicily, has been widely valued in international markets.

The president of FederUnacoma argues that the use of Italian machinery is a hallmark of quality viticulture worldwide. “Today, anywhere in the world, quality viticulture is carried out with Italian machinery,” she stressed. Simona Rapastella, the organization’s general director, also emphasized the importance of collaborating with the Ministry of Food Sovereignty on various initiatives that promote mechanization in the agri-food sector and that aim to educate the public about “made in Italy” vehicles.
