Ep. 2283 Elena Z | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

Welcome to Episode 2283 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 episodes are generally in Italian. Today’s question comes from Elena Z. Today’s question(s):  How is climate change influencing Italian vine growers in terms of varietal selection?  In che modo il cambiamento climatico sta influenzando le scelte dei viticoltori italiani in termini di varietà coltivate?  More about Professor Scienza: Professor Attilio Scienza is the one who checks all the facts and regulates when we mistakenly type “Verdicchio” instead of “Vermentino.” He is a full professor at the University of Milan in the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences where he teaches courses on genetic improvements to the vine; he also teaches Viticulture in the Master’s program of the University of Turin in Asti. He has been the lead for many national research projects in the field of physiology, agricultural techniques, and vine genetics. As the author of over 350 publications on vine and viticulture in national and international journals, you can bet he knows his stuff!
