Ep. 2179 Marco Nordio | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

Welcome to Episode 2179 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 comes from Marco Nordio. Today’s questions: What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a small winery when it comes down to being financially sustainable? Are there sufficient incentives for small wineries to merge or join forces with wine consortia or other partnerships? Quali sono i vantaggi e gli svantaggi di una piccola azienda vinicola quando si tratta di essere finanziariamente sostenibile? Ci sono sufficienti incentivi per le piccole aziende vinicole a fondersi o ad unire le forze con consorzi vinicoli o altre partnership? The lesson from Bolgheri: how likely is it that more territories could be found in Italy with a similar heroic development from pastoral land to the production of superstar wines? La lezione di Bolgheri: quanto è probabile che in Italia si trovino altri territori con un'evoluzione altrettanto eroica dalla pastorizia alla produzione di vini così rinomati? 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!
