Landscape marketing and landscape reality: what is the relationship? The case of the Loire Valley vineyards

Abstract

This issue poses two questions: the relationship between beauty and taste (is landscape quality an index of wine quality ?), and the gap or the conformity between our image of the “terroir” and the visible reality. The landscape is both an object and a representation. When it is presented as a advertising image, there is inevitably a choice; to show the attractive aspects of the product and to exacerbate them. It results in an aesthetic construction process which is not or no longer faithful to the original landscape. It can be positive when it encourages a discovery; on the other hand, it can be negative when it betrays an identity, and finally it can also lead those managing the territory to modify the identity of their vineyard landscape.
The Chinon vineyard is an example of an approach in the hypothesis that there is a relationship between taste and landscape. The Anjou vineyard is a second example, which characterises a gap between a showcase and a landscape reality.

EFFECTS OF LEAF REMOVAL AT DIFFERENT BUNCHES PHENOLOGICAL STAGES ON FREE AND GLYCOCONJUGATE AROMAS OF SKINS AND PULPS OF TWO ITALIAN RED GRAPES

Canopy-management practices are applied in viticulture to improve berries composition and quality, having a great impact on primary and secondary grape metabolism. Among these techniques, cluster zone leaf removal (defoliation) is widely used to manage air circulation, temperature and light radiation of grape bunches and close environment. Since volatiles are quantitatively and qualitatively influenced by the degree of fruit ripeness, the level of solar exposure, and the thermal environment in which grapes ripen, leaf removal has been shown to affect volatile composition of grape berries [1].
