Din cauza temperaturilor ridicate, fermierii italieni folosesc creme de protecţie solară pentru a proteja strugurii

Italian farmers have resorted to using sunscreen on grape clusters to prevent early harvesting due to extreme heat affecting vineyards. This year's grape harvest in Italy has been notably early, influenced by severe thermal stress, drought, and intense weather phenomena. Despite these challenges, each vineyard produced high-quality grapes. The Pordenone wine region, with its historical domains, reported varied yields, with some vineyards experiencing increases while others faced slight declines. The harvest began in mid-August, marking a significant shift in traditional timelines. Farmers have adapted by employing less aggressive defoliation techniques and using protective products to shield grapes from sunburn. The situation has prompted a reevaluation of irrigation methods and vineyard management strategies.
