Since 2015 interdisciplinary research activities focus on terraced vineyards with dry-stone walls. Particular focus is placed on the way in which these vineyards modulate the local micro-climate in such a way as to facilitate the growing of high quality red vine at higher altitude. This involves multi-modal data acquisition through different surveying methods including ortho-photography and thermography with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and terrestrial stationary and mobile measure-stations. The acquired data is integrated in a multi-scale and multi-domain model.
Thus far the surveys focused on three terraced vineyards: the old Grospoli vineyard, the new Grospoli vineyard, and the Castello vineyard.
