Climate Change Puts Prosecco in Peril: What You Need to Know
Jul 17, 2023
The sustainable production of high-quality prosecco from Italy is under siege, particularly the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene region.
The area is suffering from increasing droughts, making vineyard irrigation costly, and heavier winter rains, risking soil and terrace erosion.
These changes may impact the availability of the Prosecco Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), considered a premium variant of the popular sparkling wine.
Why it matters 👉 The scarcity of premium prosecco could lead to increased costs and limited supply for consumers, potentially impacting venues, caterers, and wedding planners who regularly offer prosecco to guests.
This also carries significant cultural implications, as these vineyards represent the history and traditions of their communities.
Pay attention to 👀 The wider implications of climate change on wine and beverage production.
