Italian grape harvest gives cause for celebration

Italy’s growers breathe a sigh of relief as the weather ensures a good harvest so far. Italian producers and growers are optimistic about the 2015 harvest, after a fine summer ensured the disaster of last year was not repeated. Bad weather saw a much-reduced harvest in 2014, both in terms of quantity and quality, but this year’s glorious summer weather has put smiles back on growers’ faces, according to Italy’s Wine News website.
