Summary
Climate change is significantly altering Italy's viticulture, particularly in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Le Colline del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene. Rising temperatures and shifting environmental conditions are impacting grapevine phenology, wine sensory profiles, and disease dynamics, posing both risks and opportunities for the sector. The study reviews recent climate projections to assess their implications on wine production quality, quantity, and sustainability. It proposes an integrated approach combining genetic and agronomic adaptation strategies with predictive tools, regulatory updates, and policy support to guide the future of viticulture. This approach aims to balance tradition with innovation while ensuring resilience in the face of environmental shifts.
