Increasingly high temperatures and intense rains are likely to threaten the quality of Tuscan wines. The research shows that while warmer temperatures favor wine quality, the rain that comes with them is often bad news. An agronomist at Florence University stating that rise in temperatures cause grapes to over-ripen, said: This rise in temperatures will continue in the next years, and they will be too high and unfavourable for the quality of wine, The study, which was published in the wine magazine VQ, compares quality checks on some of Italy’s most famous wines Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti Classico, Barolo, Barbaresco and Amarone to the weather conditions of the past three or four decades. Agricultural patterns will be majorly effected by global warming the world over. So do stock up on your favorites in Italian wines before they become unavailable.
