As part of this venture, the company is deploying an intelligent ecosystem that integrates sensors, satellite imagery, drones, and artificial intelligence across more than 200 hectares of its estates in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia areas. Villa Sandi's precision viticulture initiative connects weather stations that monitor temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind, along with electronic leaf sensors for wetness and soil probes that measure moisture at depth.
