His son, Giancarlo, who graduated in mechanical engineering from Milan Polytechnic, started to design, patent and produce specific machines for use in the vineyard in 1989. Today, this activity allows the “Spezia Ing. Giancarlo” company to be present with its own registered trademark TECNOVICT at the most important and prestigious Italian wineries, offering products that are by now unanimously considered synonymous with quality, robustness and reliability.

Also significant is the recognition bestowed by UNACOMA on occasion of the EIMA 2005 fair with the Technical Innovation Contest award for the ground-breaking chemical desuckering machine.

He has collaborated closely with Professor Fregoni and the fruit and vine growing institute of the Università Cattolica in Piacenza since 1987, where he was Professor in Vineyard Mechanization from 2002 till to 2010.

Since 2001 he has made a particular contribution to the development and spread of telemeasuring for precision viticulture, as a member of the scientific council of CITIMAP (Centre for the innovation in the use of semote sensing in the mechanical industry for precision agriculture) as a consultant for the most important wineries.

Since 2008 he has developed some machines in the new variable rate technology: the Mod. 111 VRT “Claudio Pontremolesi” spreader and the Mod. 111 VRT Leaf Stripper that has won the 2010 Technical Innovation Contest award along with Same Deutz Fahr (responsible for ISOBUS tractor electronics) with the project “INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PRECISION VITICOLTURE”.
