4Grapes® is the ideal tool for smart vineyard monitoring: a unique app capable of identifying and assessing vineyard conditions, while allowing you to share the collected data with other users. Simple, fast and intuitive to use, it contributes significantly to improving vineyard management and deepening your understanding of it. It allows you to gather geo-referenced information, neatly organized and easy to consult, and it features artificial intelligence that makes it easier to recognize the main grapevine diseases. It also lets you create a true company-wide network, giving you the advantage of having a global, up-to-date overview of vineyard conditions at any time. 4Grapes® can be used anywhere in the world and is available in 7 languages. Our mission is to “care for the vineyard with a multifunctional approach to improve its quality, health and productivity”, because to obtain a great wine you must start from the vineyard itself. Observe, deduce, act.
4Grapes® addresses the need for a new approach to viticulture based on monitoring, as encouraged by the EU in Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of plant protection products. Thanks to the AROUND ME function – the built-in historical archive – once downloaded, the app provides users with territorial average data going back up to 20 years, with a level of detail that can be focused, at will, on the country, the entire region or the province, down to the individual municipality. The vineyard registry section of the app is also extremely useful, allowing you to record all the information about your vineyard – such as surface area, number of rows, year and spacing of planting – and keep it always at your fingertips. As a key ally in recognizing the two main threats to grapevines, 4Grapes® guides the user step by step in correctly capturing an image of the leaf affected by the disease which, once processed by the artificial intelligence, will be able to provide a verdict on the type of issue affecting the plant. The app also includes a useful alert function via push notifications, which will be triggered in advance at times of highest infection risk.
