Ep. 2258 Cynthia Chapman | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

Welcome to Episode 2258 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): 

🇬🇧 Given the fact that we are seeing earlier and earlier harvests due to recent hot summers, what can enologists do to ensure complex and balanced wines in the future?                                                                                                          

🇮🇹 Considerando che le recenti estati calde hanno portato a vendemmie sempre più precoci, cosa possono fare gli enologi per garantire in futuro vini complessi ed equilibrati?

🇬🇧 How is climate change affecting natural yeasts and spontaneous fermentation in Italy? Do you think winemakers will need to rely more on the addition of selected yeasts in the future?                                                                                                                                

🇮🇹 In che modo il cambiamento climatico sta influenzando i lieviti naturali e la fermentazione spontanea in Italia? Pensa che in futuro i viticoltori dovranno affidarsi maggiormente all'aggiunta di lieviti selezionati?
