Italian Wine Podcast

Welcome to Episode 2211 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 Markus Patz. Today’s question(s):  Throughout your distinguished career in viticulture and vine genetics, what has been the most fascinating or unexpected discovery that particularly influenced your understanding of the vine and its relationship with terroir? Durante la sua illustre carriera in viticoltura e genetica, qual è stata la scoperta più affascinante o inaspettata che ha influenzato la sua comprensione della vite e il suo rapporto con il terroir? 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 Science
