The research on traditional high-altitude terraced vineyards in Lamole commenced in 2015. Research activities include surveys geared towards land knowledge recovery, especially concerning the way the vineyards modulate the local micro-climate to facilitate the growing of high quality red vine at this altitude, and how climate change affects this setting. Four terraced vineyards have been or are in the process of being surveyed. These include Grospoli I, Grospoli II, Castello and Le Stinche. The surveys involve multi-modal data acquisition, data-integration and analysis. The aim is to develop a data-integrated computational analysis and design method , as well as decision support for the design and operation of high-altitude vineyards, and adaptation of the knowledge for use in different contexts.

An airborne photogrammetric and LiDAR flight over the entire Lamole valley was undertaken by the Servizi di Informazione Territoriale (S.I.T.) s.r.l. of Bari (Italy) on 6 August 2020. UAV platform surveys of the Grospoli II and Castello vineyards with visible and thermal sensors (DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual) were undertaken on 5 September 2020. Five flights with a temporal resolution of 3 hours were performed over the Grospoli II vineyard and photogrammetric data was captured in the VIS and TIR range. Additionally, ground-based reference temperature measurements were collected. Data was obtained from the Lamole meteorological station (TOS11000023), operated by the Servizio Idrologico Regionale (SIR) of the Tuscan Region, for the purpose of cross-referencing and validation. Furthermore, field data and regional open-access geospatial information were required from the Tuscan GIS database.
