Bele Casel su The Guardian

Two reports about climate change and the Asolo territory prompted the family to set out its position in detail. A British correspondent had visited the vineyards, gathered information directly and contacted other growers to present a broader picture. A later local report, based on a brief telephone call, compressed several of the family's comments and led to misunderstandings.

The family clarified that landslides were affecting not only vineyards but woodland and municipal roads. Responsibility for maintaining land applies to growers, woodland owners and public administrators alike. It also rejected the suggestion that old vines themselves were the problem. Younger vineyards had remained more stable because extensive drainage was installed before planting; older vineyards suffered more because such work was not commonly undertaken when they were planted and is difficult to add later.

The article identifies climate change as a fact affecting the entire community and treats the year's concentrated extreme weather as a likely model for future seasons. Bele Casel commits to continued learning, improvement, sustainable territorial care and open communication about subsequent vineyard and cellar decisions.
