VIDOR. A violent hailstorm struck this afternoon on the foothills and in particular on the Prosecco di Vidor hills.
Damage to be quantified for the wine industry, in a very delicate period in which the plants are in full budding.
The considerable diameter of the fallen hailstones raises concerns that the consequences could be serious, especially in the mid-height crus, which are more affected.
The border area between the municipalities of Vidor and Farra di Soligo, which includes some of the finest crus, is most affected.
The rows of Prosecco on both sides of via Scandolera, the stretch of the provincial SP32 that connects Vidor to Col San Martino, covered by over 5 centimeters of hail, with a diameter of up to 3 centimeters, fell around 4 pm.
