Research projects

The ISVV pursues an ambitious research strategy, structured around major national and European projects that address the contemporary challenges facing viticulture, oenology and the wine sector as a whole.

These programmes bring together researchers, public institutions and private partners to drive innovation in response to environmental, economic and societal challenges.
