VineLeaffor Live is a Emilia Romagna regional project focused on the valorization of the vine leaves of two regional grapes variety with high levels of nutraceutical compounds in the leaves: .Grasparossa. and .Salamino.. The project is started on 28th September 2022 and during the first 8 months of activities a complete chemical characterization of 10 leaves samples from representative vineyards has been done. Furthermore, a first raw prototype of mechanical harvester has been developed and tested. Next activities will be analyze the presence of residual active compounds in the leaves and improve the mechanical harvesting doing and testinga second version of the machine optimized in terms of harvesting efficiency and reliability.
