The future of wine starts with biodiversity: Stefano Girelli featured on Eat Sleep Wine Repeat podcast

The discussion examined the long-term commitment required by organic production and the role of plant diversity, living soils and minimum intervention in building a balanced vineyard. Climate adaptation was addressed through canopy management, shading and trellising to control ripening and retain freshness. The programme also considered Sicily’s experimental work with dozens of indigenous and rare grapes, identifying rediscovered Albanello as one variety with future potential.
