Osservatorio DiVino 2024. La sostenibilità per la competitività delle cantine italiane.

The report, realized by the University of Siena within the framework of Spoke 9 of the National Agritech Centre, analyzes the sustainability practices of 574 Italian wine companies, comparing them with the broader national agri-food sample. The findings indicate that wine-sector SMEs, although constrained by limited resources and organizational structures, are making progress in the adoption of renewable energy, certifications, and short supply chains. Nevertheless, critical issues remain in energy efficiency, water management, and social inclusion. The study underscores the need for targeted policies and innovation tools to support the sustainable competitiveness of the national wine industry.
