At Azienda Agricola Pantano we are re-inventing the grape world
The art of vine growing is a centuries-old tradition that extends back to the Ancient Greeks, who associated the cultivation of grapes with health, vitality, and even the flourishing of civilization itself. Today, however, the spraying and dusting of pesticides and other chemicals on grape plants has become physically arduous and even harmful to the health of farmworkers.
Our vineyard created Rovitis to restore the principles of health and vitality to the art of vine growing. We want Rovitis to usher in a new era of safety and innovation in viticulture, allowing vineyards to use state-of-the-art technology and the principles of 21st-century automation to grow high-quality organic grapes.
We eventually want to see Rovitis machines used in vineyards all over the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. Our goal is to inspire as many people in the viticulture industry with our vision as possible, and to partner with investors and vineyard owners to usher in a new era for machine-automated spraying and dusting in viticulture.

Rovitis is a revolutionary machine,and part of a new era for viticulture in which the cultivation of grapes enters the 21st century.
In a typical year, viticultural workers come in contact with an abundance of chemicals for many hours each day just to maintain the health of their grape fields. Rovitis is a very simple robot that is able to travel autonomously through vineyards and perform all of the tasks that a farmer on a tractor would typically be required to do.
Our vineyard, Azienda Agricola Pantano, has already been using the Rovitis robot on our grape fields since 2008. With this robot, we have freed ourselves from the stress of manually driving the tractor and we can focus on putting all of our efforts into our true passion—wine.
