Description

What is the Project?

Promoted by ENEA (National Agency for Energy Efficiency) and financed by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy Security, the project aims to:

  1. Map real consumption: Create an updated national database on wineries' technologies and consumption.
  2. Create a Practical Guide: Draw up a manual on energy efficiency with real cases and modern technological solutions.

In recent years, the energy landscape has changed dramatically. Since 2020, energy costs have almost doubled (40-60% increase).

For a wine cellar, producing one hectolitre of wine requires an average of up to 70 kWh, with more than half of the energy consumed by:

  • Fermentation
  • Refrigeration

Optimising these processes is not only an ethical choice, but a necessity to maintain high quality and remain competitive in the global market.
