Wine and Sustainability: Policies and Technological Innovations for a Sustainable Transition of the Wine Supply Chain

Event powered by Federvini.

Thanks to the partnership with Federvini, the federation representing Italian companies in the wine, spirits, and vinegar sectors and promoting their development and competitiveness, the wine-growing and winemaking sector is widely represented at the trade fair, which features leading companies supplying technologies and solutions for the oenological sector.

On October 29, Cibus Tec will also host a workshop entirely dedicated to the wine sector inside the Seminar Theater in Hall 2. High-profile speakers from Italy and abroad will gather to discuss strategic issues for the supply chain's competitiveness—from international trade agreements to the evolution of the European regulatory framework and sustainability challenges.

The panel will explore the recent novelties introduced by the so-called "Wine Package" (Pacchetto Vino), with a particular focus on support instruments for vineyard and winery investments, as well as the growing drive toward environmental sustainability.

Among the key updates, the support rate for winery investments aimed at environmental objectives can reach up to 80% of eligible costs. Italy has fortunately chosen to apply the maximum percentage through the Ministry of Agriculture decree issued on September 18, 2026.

The panel will provide an opportunity to examine these developments directly with key stakeholders across the supply chain:

• Ministry of Agriculture: Highlighting the path that led to the Wine Package and the recent ministerial decree.
• Emilia-Romagna Region: Exploring the regional implementation of investment measures.
• Federvini: Giving voice to the needs and perspectives of companies in the sector.
• Omnia Technologies: Offering an overview of evolving technologies serving Italian and European wine businesses, as well as Italy's role in this manufacturing segment.

It will be a discussion dedicated to business opportunities, innovation, and the role of technology in the sustainable transition of the wine sector.
