• Ep. 2497 Noah Carrenca Part 2 | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

  Welcome to Episode 2497 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professor Attilio 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 Noah Carrenca (part 2). Today’s question(s):  🇬🇧 Do you believe climate change will actually lead us to plant Mediterranean varieties in Germany and Riesling in southern Italy? Or is that more of a conference-stage prediction? 🇮🇹 Credi che il cambiamento climatico ci porterà davvero a piantare varietà mediterranee in Germania e Riesling nel sud Italia? O è più una previsione da palcoscenico che da convegno? 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!
