The European group CERVIM (The Center for the Research, Study and Advancement of Mountain Viticulture) will be hosting its Third International Congress of Mountain and Steep Slope Viticulture beginning May 11th and continuing through the 14th at Castiglione di Sicilia on the island of Sicily.
In addition to special plenary sessions, roundtables and tours, the Congress will be broken into three primary topic sessions for presentations dealing with positive aspects and opportunities, problems and risks, and proposals for development, respectively. Within each of these sessions, mountain viticulture will be addressed from technical, environmental, economic, cultural and tourist industry points of view by speakers from throughout Europe and the world.
