| The
Association of Italian Oenologists (Assoenologi) said
exceptionally warm weather last winter as well as in
April, July and August had ripened the grapes up to
three weeks earlier than usual, especially in the south.
The weather was wetter in the north, and Assoenologi
predicted that quality would be mixed, while wholesale
prices would rise by between five and twenty percent.
