In alignment with our strategy to implement ESG standards by the end of next year and position Macedonian wine on the global wine map, we have initiated a partnership with Perleuve, one of the world’s most renowned consulting firms in viticulture, based in Italy. This esteemed company is led by Giovanni Bigot, a world-leading researcher and promoter of viticulture innovations, who also serves as a consultant for top wineries in Italy and other countries.

As part of this five-year collaboration, which is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Perleuve’s expert team, headed by Bigot, will provide observations and share cutting-edge practices with the Tikveš team for producing healthy, high-quality grapes that yield premium wines.

Tikveš has already established an efficient vineyard monitoring system that gathers data on all significant parameters affecting grape quality. This data is processed in a monitoring software application called 4Grapes, which enables real-time observation of each vineyard’s condition, proving crucial for making timely and accurate decisions in viticulture.
