Descripción del proyecto
Una herramienta innovadora para el autoanálisis del vino
La industria vitivinícola italiana es conocida por la alta calidad de sus vinos que se venden en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, todavía quedan obstáculos que amenazan la calidad del vino y ocasionan pérdidas económicas a los productores. «Brettanomyces» es un género a menudo llamado «brett» que influye en la calidad del vino con efectos sobre su sabor y aroma. El proyecto Self-Brett 2.0 financiado con fondos europeos, propone un instrumento innovador para el autoanálisis del vino que es asequible, fácil de utilizar, rápido y fiable. Este dispositivo innovador detecta «Brettanomyces» en cualquier momento del proceso de elaboración del vino sin la intervención de personal especializado ni ningún laboratorio. El proyecto tiene por objeto desarrollar y preparar el producto para comercializarlo con éxito en los mercados europeo y mundial.
Objetivo
The Italian wine market is a cornerstone of the national agri-food sector and is characterized by increasing high-quality wine demand from consumers. Therefore, issues hindering the achievement of wines able to satisfy all market requirements still occur. Brettanomyces spoilage is one of these and it leads to off-flavours and odor formation that highly affect wine quality, causing serious economic losses. The present innovation concerns the setup of a revolutionary device for Brettanomyces self-detection, hereafter referred to as Self-brett®: an easy to use, quick, reliable and cheap new product. Self-brett® enables anyone to carry out self-analysis on Brettanomyces spoilage at any moment of the wine making process, without requiring the involvement of specialized staff, equipments or LAB facilities. Wine-makers, oenologists, oenological product retailers and producers as well as analytical laboratories will embrace Self-brett® because it represents exactly what the wine market is missing now. GRAPE mission is addressed to translate in market services the technical-scientific knowledge acquired by the founders during their academic carriers. Through the development of Self-brett®, already patented, once again GRAPE shows to be innovative and prompt to fulfill customers’ needs, thus offering the first device for wine self-analysis, available at low price, with the potential to reach the entire wine market. Based on an initial investment of 783.180€ (1st and 2nd yr), GRAPE estimates to sell 420K devices by the end of the second year of commercialization (4th yr) and to reach € 4.235.000 of revenues, corresponding at € 1.130.000 net profits and 29,1% ROI, together with a job growth higher than 180%. GRAPE needs to enter the SME Instrument phase 1 to finalize the Self-brett® development and prepare it for the undoubtedly successful launch on the market: Self-brett® is what all wineries need.
