Ep. 2569 Anselmo Acquah Part 2 | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

Welcome to Episode 2569 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professor Attilio Scienza takes questions from the international wine community and answers them in his own inimitable way! These episodes are generally in Italian. Today’s question comes from Anselmo Acquah. Today’s question(s): 🇬🇧 The taste of modern consumers has changed compared to 30 years ago. Has the scientific interpretation of wine quality evolved as well, or are we still chasing “good” with overly rigid categories? 🇮🇹 Il gusto dei consumatori è cambiato rispetto a trent’anni fa. Anche l’interpretazione scientifica della qualità del vino si è evoluta, oppure inseguiamo ancora il “buono” con categorie troppo rigide? More about Professor Scienza: Professor Attilio 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!
