Welcome to Episode 2159 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professo 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 about Italy’s current denomination system comes from Michela Aru.

Today’s question: 

Do you think the current denomination system in Italy is effective, or do you agree with those who think it is time to revise it and define a new structure? If the latter, what do you think are the most urgent measures to take?

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!
