Climate crisis and viticulture: agronomist Stefano Amadeo (CEO of Vitenova) at the conference organized by GreenPlanner

At the conference "Turn the Vine: The Climate Crisis Affects Wine, Starting in the Vineyards," to be held on February 18, 2026 , at MyPlant&Garden in Rho Fiera Milano, experts and researchers will discuss solutions for making the wine sector more resilient. Among the keynote speakers in the expert session will be Stefano Amadeo , agronomist and co-director of Vitenova . His presentation, titled "What's Happening Between the Rows? The Agronomist's Point of View," will explore the state of the art of low-impact agronomic techniques and the importance of monitoring soil health and biodiversity through advanced analysis tools.

Amadeo, who has been involved in agro-ecological research and experimentation for years, has helped develop innovative methodologies for analyzing soil, vegetation, and arthropods, elements that form the basis of the company's services. Vitenova operates as a Benefit Corporation (BNC) that integrates agronomic, naturalistic, and scientific expertise to promote a regenerative and measurable agricultural model. The team, composed of professionals who collaborate with companies in Italy and abroad, aims to safeguard the land's heritage and biodiversity by directly impacting the quality and quantity of the wine produced. Through a rigorous analysis of the terroir , understood as the interaction between soil, plants, and the agroecosystem, Vitenova guides operational decisions from vineyard planting to daily management and pest management. From this journey, DiversityBio was born, a company dedicated to enhancing the relationships between agriculture, the environment, and nature.

This approach leverages established partnerships with universities and research institutions, translating the complexity of agricultural environments into operational recommendations based on objective data. Regarding the importance of a personalized and measurable approach, Stefano Amadeo stated: "There is no one-size-fits-all recipe, especially in a complex context like viticulture. The difference between real sustainability and declared sustainability lies in the attention to context and the willingness to measure what is done: small changes, if monitored over time, can become effective and recognizable strategies."

The event is part of GreenPlanner 's broader commitment, which has been promoting a culture of sustainability and green jobs for years under the direction of Cristina Ceresa . Always at the forefront of disseminating practical solutions to the climate crisis, Director Ceresa has transformed GreenPlanner into a reference point for environmental information, emphasizing the need for ongoing training and transparent communication to guide the country's ecological transition.
