A flood of observations has been presented today, Monday, September 29 (expiration date), in the offices of the Tuscany Region to request changes to the landscape plan, the document over 3,500 pages that addresses requirements for the protection of the landscape, limiting in a dangerous way – according to many operators – activities that drive the region, the extraction of marble of the Apuan Alps to the cultivation of the vine, from the ski slopes of Abetone nurseries Pistoia plain.

E ‘for this reason that entrepreneurs stone, Confindustria, agricultural associations, winemakers, growers and local authorities have put on paper the concerns that inflame the debate for weeks and disturb the slumbers of the companies. Getting a first promise, brought “home” to the most important consortiums wine (Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino) this morning met councilors Planning Anna Marson, author of the operation, and Agriculture Gianni Salvadori: the region is available to modify, in a substantial manner, the plan developed in collaboration with the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (“where the husband works councilor Marson,” he said Giovanni Busi, president of the Consorzio Chianti wine in a press conference) and cost 1.3 million euro.

The demands of growers – condensed into 40 pages of comments submitted in the Region – point to the total removal of references to the issues that represent the vineyards both in terms of landscape, which for the purposes of the hydrogeological, which finally biodiversity. “And ‘thanks to the vineyards, which

cover only 2.6% of the area of ​​Tuscany, we are able to ensure an economic return of the land and to preserve other types of crops,” said Busi joined by Sergio Zingarelli and Fabrizio Bindocci Presidents respectively Consortia of Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, on behalf of the other consortia wine of Tuscany, with whom, for the first time, have developed a common strategy. The Consortia have not announced egregious manifestations – such as the one made by the entrepreneurs of the marble that stopped the activities in the cave for two days – but they have announced that they are ready to raise the tone of the protest if you do not see the facts, that the deletion of the part governing viticulture from the Landscape Plan. “Nobody in Tuscany is in favor of this plan, only those who wrote it,” he said Zingarelli. Duro the final judgment: “If the plan is approved as it was proposed, would make agriculture a Tuscan jump back decades, producing virtually irreversible damage to the economy, employment and even the environment.”

Concerns (and the observations submitted) also came from Confindustria Pistoia: “Worryingly the perception that emerges of the lifts in the mountain, which is never as rammentati infrastructure backbone of the economy of an otherwise weak, but as responsible for the intensive exploitation of the environment, and therefore destined to a regime of strict control (as already exists). ”
