PIWI VARIETIES: SUSTAINABLE VITICULTURE
With Marco Stefanini (President of PIWI Italia and Head of the Grapevine Physiology and Genetic Improvement Unit at Fondazione E.
Resistant vine varieties are today an opportunity to make a branch of agriculture increasingly sustainable, above all in mountain areas. Genetic innovation could be a suitable response to the climate changes underway, and characteristics related to resistance to fungal disease make it possible to reduce treatments by 70%, offering the chance to satisfy all the conditions necessary for effective sustainability of viticulture.
