USARVID
Use of the vine’s own pruning shoots to make differentiated wines
USARVID is a R+D project whose main objective is to develop a new range of wines with a differentiated sensory profile, of an ecological nature and which can be defined as healthy thanks to the incorporation of the vine’s own pruning shoots as a new oenological additive, in line with the principles of circular economy.
Pago de la Jaraba leads this initiative in which the Research Group of the Agricultural Chemistry of the University of Castilla La Mancha (CQA-UCLM) also participates. USARVID has an overall budget of 381,233 € and is co-financed by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) with European Union ERDF funds through the Multiregional Operational Programme for Intelligent Growth 2014-2020. It is expected to last 36 months, from June 2019 to 2022.
