Apuan Alps Geopark Meeting
The Apuan Wine in the Global Warming Age:
discussion on an idea of "terroir" for the years to come


Bosa of Careggine (Italy), 18th October 2014

 

     

 

It is difficult to effectively fight the climate change...
it is simpler to prepare for change and exploit its potential benefits...

The Global Warming is an obvious phenomenon, moving plantations further north in latitude and higher in altitude. The Apuan Alps are not a land of winemaking tradition, but they will soon become one.
In Bosa farm, the Park has planted an experimental vineyard which already produces mountain wine of good quality.
At an altitude of 850 m, the Geopark Farm has the highest Tuscan vineyard in production.
