In recent months, Italy has been hit by an unprecedented and prolonged heatwave, with temperatures in many areas breaking historical records. At a winery in Sicily, located in the south of Italy, workers have been starting work around 5:30 in the morning to avoid the extreme heat. The winery manager, Lanzaro, stated that they have adjusted the work hours to avoid working in the high temperatures. He explained that due to the effects of the heatwave, the grape vines flowered more than 20 days earlier than usual this year, forcing many agricultural tasks to be done ahead of schedule. This is not a coincidence, but a direct result of the continued impact of climate change.
