A multidisciplinary approach to grapevine zoning G.I.S. technology based: an example of thermal data elaboration

Abstract

[English version below]

Un grand nombre d’études ont été consacrées à l’évaluation quantitative des effets de climat sur la qualité des vignes, dans différents contextes climatiques. Généralement, la vocation viticole d’un terroire peut être étudiée par des approches mono ou multidisciplinaires. Les approches viticoles de zonage, laissent augmenter notre connaissance sur la complexe réalité des interactions de la vigne avec l’environnement, afin d’évaluer le niveau potentiel de qualité du raisin.
Dans cette étude nous suggérons une approche multidisciplinaire au zonage, basée sur la tecnologie G.I.S. (system geographique informatisé). La méthode permet nombreuse combinaisons possibles des informations, par exemple: des données climatiques (température de l’air, précipitations, direction du vent, rayonnement global et direct), avec les informations de la vigne (les exigences de chaleur nécessaires pour obtenir un niveau de maturation du raisin, de l’evapotranspiration potentiel quotidien), ou les informations de sol (pente, géologie, topographie), afin d’analyser leurs corrélations.
La méthode peut considérer différentes approches préliminaires à l’élaboration de données sur la base du type de données (par exemple: un facteur climatique) considéré. Dans le présent contribuez un exemple de l’élaboration thermique de données (température de l’air), combinée avec l’information dérivée des besoins de chaleur d’un groupe de 22 varietees est présenté, sur la base d’une expérience conduite dans un secteur de la province de Bénévent (Campania, Italie méridionale).
Dans l’exemple proposé, lesdites informations thermiques avec l’index bio-climatique d’Amerine-Winkler, laissant obtenir une subdivision du terroir considéré dans cinq secteurs, accordant leur convenance thermique (de moins de 1200 à 2000 degrées-jours). Selon le modèle, il était possible d’élaborer une carte de la convenance thermique des varietees considérées, étant possible d’avoir un placement optimal des vignes dans les diverses zones du terroire considéré.

A large number of studies have been devoted to the quantitative assessment of the climate effects upon the quality of vineyards in many different climatic contexts. Generally the grapevine vocation of a territory may be studied through mono or multidisciplinary approaches.
Viticultural zoning approaches permit to increase our knowledge on the complex reality among grapevine and environment interactions, in order to evaluate the potentiality of an area necessary to obtain a data level of grape quality.
In this study we will to suggest a multidisciplinary approach to zoning, G.I.S.-technology-based. The presented method permit possible combinations of “information layers”, for example: climatic data (air temperature, rainfalls, wind direction and velocity, global and direct radiation), with grapevine informations (thermal needs necessary to obtain a data maturation level of the grape, daily potential evapotranspiration), or soil informations (slope, geology, topography), in order to analyse their correlations. According the method, is possible to present the obtained results clearly on builted computer maps. The method may consider different preliminary approaches to the data elaboration (maked with a specific computer program) on the basis of the type of data (for example: a climatic factor) considered.
In the present contribute an example of thermal data elaboration (air temperature) combined with the information derived from the heat requirements of a group of 22 grapevines is presented, on the basis of an experience conducted in an area of the province of Benevento (Campania region, southern Italy). In the proposed example, the method combine the said thermal informations with the Amerine–Winkler bioclimatic index, permitting to obtain a subdivision of the considered territory in five areas, according their thermal suitability (from less than 1200 to 2000 degree-days).
Through the model it was possible to elaborate a map of the thermal suitability of the considered grapevines, being possible to have an optimal placing of the grapevines in the various zones of the considere
d territory.

Effect of early defoliation on volatile composition and sensory properties of aglianico red wines

The aim of this work was to study the influence of early defoliation in the vineyard on Aglianico wines quality from Apulia region (Italy). Early defoliation was conducted in commercial Aglianico

Relevance of an immunoassay test for rapid detection of Botrytis cinerea in ‘Ugni blanc’ musts and wines

A new immunoassay kit, called Botrytis Lateral Flow Device has been tested to detect Botrytis cinerea on musts and wines. The comparison of the immunoassay result with the quantitative analysis of usual markers (gluconic acid, sugars and polyols) showed the relevance of this innovative tool.

Influenza dell’esposizione del vigneto sulla maturazione dell’uva

Lo studio è stato condotto in vigneti commerciali di Vitis vinifera cv Nebbiolo localizzati in Piemonte, Italia del Nord-Ovest, intorno alla sommità di una collina. L’obiettivo dello studio è stato di determinare come l’esposizione del vigneto possa influenzare il comportamento vegetativo della vite, il manifestarsi delle fasi fenologiche, e la cinetica di maturazione dell’uva con particolare riguardo all’accumulo di antociani e flavonoli.

HOW DOES ULTRASOUND TREATMENT AFFECT THE AGEING PROFILE OF AN ITALIAN RED WINE?

Many wine styles require moderate or extended ageing to ensure optimal consumer experience. However, few consumers have the interest or ability to age wine themselves, and holding wine in optimal conditions for extended periods is expensive for producers. A study was conducted on the use of ul-trasound energy on wine, with particular reference to its impact on sensory and chemical profiles. The OIV has authorised the use of ultrasound for processing crushed grapes (must) in Resolution OENO 616-2019, but not yet for finished wine1,2.
