Colli Berici expands pergola training to shelter grapes from heat

Gambero Rosso reports that Colli Berici has changed its wine rules to introduce pergola training as a response to excessive heat. The change covers new vineyards and replantings in hillside areas. Previously reserved for Garganega, the method is being extended to all grape varieties grown on the hills, according to president Silvio Dani. The report describes pergola training as a way to shield grape bunches from direct sunlight. Dani discussed the change at Gustus 2026 as a practical response to changing climatic conditions.
