Marketing and zoning (“Great Zoning”): researches and various considerations

Abstract

[English version below]

Dans de précédents travaux sur le zonage “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Grand Zonage”), on a traité, entre autre, de la “GRANDE FILIERA” (GF) (Grande filière) où parmi les 54 descripteurs prévus pour lire et évaluer par exemple un zonage, sont compris aussi la Communication – Marketing et les aspects qui y sont liés, comme facteurs fondamentaux du “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) “Grand Zonage” qui part des aspects économiques, sociaux et existentiels qui représentent en filière du bas vers le haut les “GRANDI OBIETTIVI” (GO) (“Grands Objectifs” de l’activité vitivinicole aussi et donc du zonage, et qui ne part pas des aspects “techniques” typiques du “Petit Zonage” (PZ) ou “Zonage Thématique” tels que par exemple le sol, le climat, le modèle de vignoble et sa gestion, etc., qui représentent les “moyens” pour atteindre les “grands objectifs” cités ci-dessus (Cargnello G. 1997, 1999 a-b et 2003 a-c).
Il faut donc souligner à nouveau que les “grands objectifs” ne doivent pas être confondus, comme il arrive souvent dans notre secteur aussi, avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs. L’objectif de ce travail est de démontrer ultérieurement l’importance fondamentale de l’aspect économique dans le zonage, et en particulier la composante communication et marketing qui doit cependant être gérée de manière équitable et harmonique en ce qui concerne les autres facteurs de l’activité productive, c’està-dire les aspects techniques, économiques-sociaux, et existentiels, prévus dans notre “Grand Filière” (GF).
Ce travail a été conduit a Ormelle dans le Nord-Est de l’Italie, en Vénétie en Province de Treviso dans la “TERRA DELLA VALLE DEL PIAVE” (“Terre de la Valléè du Piave”), en suivant la méthodologie de base suivante: Cargnello G., (1999); 2003a; Carbonneau A., Cargnello G., (2003). Les résultats philosophiques, méthodologiques et applicatifs obtenus dans cette recherche sont très encourageants et nous induisent à intensifier ces activités, dans le but d’appliquer dans la pratique du zonage les indications d’ordre technique, économique, social et existentiel fournies par ces recherches sur le “Grand Zonage”.

In preceding works on zoning “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Great Zoning”) the so-called “GRANDE FILIERA” (GF) (“Great Chain”) has been discussed. Within this frame, among the 54 indicators which can be used to read and to appraise a zoning process there are also Marketing and Promotion as fundamental factors of the so-called “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Great Zoning”). This GZ starts from economic, social and existential aspects which represent from the bottom of the chain the “GRANDI OBIETTIVI) (GO) (“Great Objectives”) of the vine growing process too and therefore of zoning and does not start from “technical” aspects which are typical of the so-called “Small Zoning” or ” Thematic Zoning”, as for instance soil, climate, vineyard model and its management, etc., which instead represent the “tools” to reach the “great objectives” above quoted (Cargnello G. 1997 and 2003).
Hence, we have to emphasize that the “great objectives” must not be confused, as it often happens also in our research groups, with the means used for achieving such objectives.
The goal of this work is to stress the basic role that either economic issues or marketing and promotion assume in zoning. The latter, however, should be managed in a fair and unbiased way according to the other technical, economic-social and existential factors of the production process as stated in the so-called “Great Chain”.
The work has been carried out in the Northeast part of Italy, in the Veneto Region and, more specifically, in the Province of Treviso in the “TERRA DELLA VALLE DEL PIAVE” (“Land of the Piave Valley”), taking into account the following basic methodology: Cargnello G., (1999); 2003a; Carbonneau A., Cargnello G., (2003).
The philosophical, methodological and application results coming from these researches are very encouraging. They induce us to intensify them in order to put into practice, in the zoning process, the technical, economic, social and existential indications on the “Great Zoning”, which emerge from these researches.

Territoire, terroir et marché du vin à la production

Work aimed at understanding the relationship between a terroir, in the agronomic sense, and the physico-chemical characteristics of grapes or wine are numerous today, as evidenced by the program of this symposium. But for an economist, the central question remains to know how the terroir can intervene in the construction of the economic value of wine and in the differentiation of its prices. Is the terroir effect recognized by the end consumer or is it only an internal adjustment variable in the production systems? Through which indicators can this terroir effect be managed by the various operators in the sector? In the end, isn’t it better to invoke a “territorial effect” that the actors can build, and of which the terroir would be one of the possible components?

Study of the content of amino acids and biogenic amines in sparkling red wines

The production of red sparkling wines is lower in Spain in comparison with the winemaking of white or rosé sparkling wines. In red sparkling wine processing it is essential to obtain suitable base wines that should have moderate alcohol content, high acidity, good color values, an adequate mouth-feel and a sweet tannin. Grapes for sparkling wine production have to be harvested at low maturity stages, with lower alcohol contents and higher acidities, which will that the phenolic maturity of the grapes is also low, showing green tannins. This paper analyses different treatments in order to minimize these inconveniences: cold maceration-prefermentation and delestage to elaborate the grapes with lower maturity, must nanofiltration, and the partial osmosis of the wines made from grapes with an adequate maturity degree.

Interaction among grapevine cultivars (Sangiovese, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot) and site of cultivation in Bolgheri (Tuscany)

Different “landscape unit” have been identified in Bolgheri area (a viticultural appellation in the Tirrenian coast of Tuscany) by the aid of pedological, landscape and agronomic observations in the 1992-1993 period. In all cultivar (Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) x landscape unit combinations, experimental plots were chosen in homogeneous vineyards, single cordon trained (about 3300-4500 vines/hectare). Grape maturation was studied by weekly samples of berries from veraison to vintage in the 1992-1995 period. At harvest yield and must composition traits were measured and, from the most représentative plots, sixty kilograms of grapes were harvested each year and vinified according to a standardised scheme. Wines were evaluated by standard chemical and sensory analyses.

Sustainable fertilisation of the vineyard in Galicia (Spain)

Excessive fertilization of the vineyard leads to low quality grapes, increased costs and a negative impact on the environment. In order to establish an integrated management system aimed at a sustainable fertilization of the vineyards, nutritional reference levels were established. For this purpose, 30 representative vineyards of the Albariño variety were studied, in which soil and petiole analyses were carried out for two years and grape yield and quality at harvest were measured. In both years of study, soil pH, calcium, sodium and cation exchange capacity were positively correlated with calcium content and negatively correlated with manganese in grapes. Irrigated vineyards had higher levels of aluminium in soil and lower levels of calcium in petiole. Climatic conditions were very different in the years of the study. The year 2019 was colder than usual, in 2020 there was a marked water stress with high summer temperatures. This resulted in medium-high acidity in grapes in 2019 and low acidity in 2020, with sugar levels being similar both years. A very marked decrease in must amino nitrogen was observed in 2020, with ammonia nitrogen remaining stable. The correlation of acidity and sugar values in grapes with soil and petiole analysis data made it possible to establish reference levels for the nutritional diagnosis of the Albariño variety in this region. Based on these results, an easy-to-use TIC application is currently being created for grapegrowers, aimed at improving the sustainability of the vineyard through reasoned fertilization. This study has now been extended to other Galician vine varieties.

Anti/prooxidant activity of wine polyphenols in reactions of adrenaline auto-oxidation

Adrenaline (epinephrine) belongs to catecholamine class. It is a neurotransmitter and both a hormone which is released by the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla in response to a range of stresses in order to regulate blood pressure, cardiac stimulation, relaxation of smooth muscles and other physiological processes. Adrenaline exhibits an effective antioxidant capacity (1). However, adrenalin is capable to auto-oxidation and in this case it generates toxic reactive oxygen intermediates and adrenochrome. Under in vitro conditions, auto-oxidation of adrenaline occurs in an alkaline medium (2).
