Not to stop on world successes achieved to date, viticulture Made in Italy must meet the challenge in the vineyard, where there is room for interventions and improvements thanks to the ‘marriage’ with the research and the scientific and technological innovation. And ‘the indication by researchers and winemakers who took part in the first “Wine Research International Forum Team WRT” project commissioned by Riccardo Cotarella, President dell’Assoenelogi and the World Union of Winemakers, and held in the Palladian mansion Villa Sandi, in the middle of the Prosecco area.

to the promoter of the project WRT, Riccardo Cotarella, President dell’Assoeneologi and international oenologists” there is the need to establish many real structures that lead to true sustainability, compatibility, maintenance of a high quality through science “. “If we do not act – is the cry of alarm by Attilio Scienza, professor of viticulture and researcher at the University of Milan – we risk having plants in the future more and more weak. The sustainability of the vineyard begins with respect for the land and then give sustainability to our work. ” For example, he said Science, “is the fundamental understanding of the role of the roots of the vine, the brain of the plant.
