La harvest of this 2016 it has been described as rather generous. The quality of the wines was really high, in particular those of the Sienese area, as pointed out by the local section of the Coldiretti: this year's production, therefore, will not have any kind of problem from this point of view, but the emergency will be another. In fact, as pointed out by the agricultural association, you have to worry about the excessive presence of wild boars and roe deer which are causing serious damage to the vineyards.
The producers who are denouncing this situation are more and more and their vineyards are in danger. Ungulates tend to eat grapes and the clusters are constantly decreasing. Coldiretti Siena has therefore raised the alarm: the great Sienese wines are at risk and the reports do not seem to have an end. Furthermore, for the association, there are no protections on the part of those who should have the skills.
Il abatement system it did not work and did not give the desired results. In particular, the excessive bureaucracy and the too long time to implement the regulations penalized the sector. The only vineyards safe are those fenced off and "transformed into a sort of lager". The producers of the Chianti they have been forced to take such a drastic and, for the moment, ineffective measure.
