In 1790, the Florentine scientist and agronomist Adamo Fabbroni, a leading enlightenment polymath, was the first to promote the idea that the agent responsible for fermentation was naturally present in the grape, a precursor to modern understanding of yeast. He was invited to Austrian Lombardy to address a pressing issue: the local wine was notoriously poor, and Milanese patriots demanded solutions. His response was Arte di fare il vino per la Lombardia Austriaca, a practical manual printed in Florence by Giuseppe Tofani e Compagno. Blending Tuscan methods with Lombard conditions, Fabbroni drew on his work with the Florentine Academy of Georgofili to emphasize the local adaptation of viticultural techniques. He discussed fermentation practices, the treatment of must, and denounced the "barbaric" custom of boiling wine. The work stands as both agricultural reform and regional diplomacy, marking a moment when Enlightenment wine wisdom began crossing boundaries.
