Italian Wine Podcast

Welcome to Episode 2199 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professor Scienza takes questions from the international wine community and answers them in his own inimitable way! These shows are generally in the Italian language.

Today’s question comes from Cynthia Chaplin.

Today’s question(s):

In light of the difficulties Italy has faced recently, such as extreme peronospora in 2023 and drought in 2024, what can Italian vineyards do to prepare for future challenges?

Alla luce delle recenti difficoltà che l'Italia sta affrontando, come l'attacco della peronospora nel 2023 e la siccità del 2024, come possono prepararsi i vigneti italiani alle sfide future?
