The issues of CONAVI have naturally evolved over the course of the various editions, updating and including new aspects of interest for research and innovation in viticulture: this will also be the case for this edition, and we hope that the proposed themes meet your interest and stimulate your active participation. There will also be a technical meeting, where consultants, researchers, suppliers of materials and services for the wine sector and above all producers from all over Italy will meet for a fruitful comparison on innovation in viticulture.
