Welcome to Episode 2099 of the Italian Wine Podcast, where Professo Scienza takes questions from the international wine community and answers them in his inimitable way! These shows are generally in the Italian language. Today’s question about the impact of climate change comes from Kerri Chambers.

Today’s question: 

With regard to climate change and its impact on viticulture, how can we best meet the palates of consumers who are looking for a more contemporary expression of wine, compared to the original? For example: more tannins / structure in Barolo / Brunello ... or perhaps it is better to change style? 

Per quanto riguarda il cambiamento climatico e il suo impatto sulla viticoltura, come possiamo incontrare al meglio i palati dei consumatori che cercano un'espressione più attuale del vino, rispetto a quella originale? Ad esempio: più tannini / struttura nel Barolo / Brunello... o forse è meglio cambiare stile? 

More about Professor Scienza:
Professor Atillio 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!
