What Enartis does

Enartis, headquartered in San Martino Trecate (Italy) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esseco Group s.r.l., is a global supplier of oenological products and engineering equipment for wine production. Founded in 2003 and serving more than 13 country/regional markets through dedicated websites and local offices (Italy, USA, Spain, Portugal, China, and others), Enartis maintains a comprehensive consumables portfolio spanning yeast (EnartisFerm), nutrients (NUTRIFERM), enzymes (EnartisZym), tannins (EnartisTan), oak alternatives (Incanto), KPA-based stabilizers (ZENITH), fining agents (Claril), microbial control (EnartisStab), mannoproteins (SURLÌ), and malolactic bacteria. The portfolio also includes engineering equipment such as micro-oxygenation systems (MicroOx), flotation units (Eno Flot), gas management systems, and the Wineplus/smartcellar monitoring sensors, with sensor and automation capabilities expanded through the 2023 Winegrid acquisition and the announced 2025 acquisition of Parsec S.r.l.

The company's revenue model combines one-time consumables sales (yeast, enzymes, stabilizers, etc., distributed via country websites and the shop-usa.enartis.com e-commerce platform) with hardware sales (engineering equipment) and technical advisory services delivered through local sales representatives and country-level technical winemaking specialists. Customers are primarily commercial wineries of various sizes, supplemented by sparkling wine producers, distilled beverage producers, the emerging NOLO (no-low alcohol) wine segment, and cider makers served via a dedicated cider product line. Distribution operates through direct e-commerce, direct regional sales offices in key wine-producing geographies, and a network of sales agents and distributors.

Enartis is actively building an integrated winemaking platform under its 'EWP - Engineered Integrated Winemaking Process' framework, combining proprietary product formulations with sensor-based monitoring (Winegrid) and forthcoming automation/control capabilities (Parsec) to deliver end-to-end winemaking solutions. The company's research capabilities include the Centre of Excellence for Research in Microbiology (CERM), which supports microbiology-driven product development. With 101-250 employees and no public funding rounds (operating under the corporate balance sheet of parent Esseco Group), Enartis pursues growth through product line extensions, M&A in adjacent wine technologies, and deepening geographic coverage across major wine-producing regions.
