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.

Permanent cover cropping with reduced tillage increased resiliency of wine grape vineyards to climate change

Majority of California’s vineyards rely on supplemental irrigation to overcome abiotic stressors. In the context of climate change, increases in growing season temperatures and crop evapotranspiration pose a risk to adaptation of viticulture to climate change. Vineyard cover crops may mitigate soil erosion and preserve water resources; but there is a lack of information on how they contribute to vineyard resiliency under tillage systems. The aim of this study was to identify the optimum combination of cover crop sand tillage without adversely affecting productivity while preserving plant water status. Two experiments in two contrasting climatic regions were conducted with two cover crops, including a permanent short stature grass (P. bulbosa hybrid), barley (Hordeum spp), and resident vegetation under till vs. no-till systems in a Ruby Cabernet (V. vinifera spp.) (Fresno) and a Cabernet Sauvingon (Napa) vineyard. Results indicated that permanent grass under no-till preserved plant available water until E-L stage 17. Consequently, net carbon assimilation of the permanent grass under no-till system was enhanced compared to those with barley and resident vegetation. On the other hand, the barley under no-till system reduced grapevine net carbon assimilation during berry ripening that led to lower content of nonstructural carbohydrates in shoots at dormancy. Components of yield and berry composition including flavonoid profile at either site were not adversely affected by factors studied. Switching to a permanent cover crop under a no-till system also provided a 9% and 3% benefit in cultural practices costs in Fresno and Napa, respectively. The results of this work provides fundamental information to growers in preserving resiliency of vineyard systems in hot and warm climate regions under context of climate change.

THE EFFECT OF BENTONITE FINING ON THE VOLATILE AND NON-VOLATILE PROFILE OF ITALIAN WHITE WINES

Marselan wines have an unusual high proportion of seed derived tannins from grapes having high proportions of skins, which are rich in tannins. But the causes behind this characteristic have not yet been identified. In vintage 2023 wines were made at experimental scale (9 kg by experimental unit) from Arinarnoa, Marselan and Tannat Vitis vinifera grape cultivars by traditional maceration, and by techniques aimed to increase the wine content in skin derived tannin: addition of extraction enzymes, addition at vatting of grape-skin enological tannins, or by extended maceration, known to increase the seed derived tannin contents of wines. Macerations were of 7 days, except in the extended macerations that were of 15 days.

Characterization of Glycosidically Bound Aroma Compounds of País cv. grapes of different Chilean zones

País grape has been estimated to arrive to Chile almost 500 years ago, being the first strain grown in this country. Traditionally, this grape has been used to mix with other varieties, to produce poor quality wines, but today is beginning to be used in the production of high quality wines. However, very little is known about the chemical characteristics of this variety. The aroma is one of the most important quality attributes of wine. Volatile compounds of this beverage may come from the grape (varietal aromas), from the fermentation process, from the ageing. The aromatic compounds are found in the grape in two forms: as free volatile compounds and as non-volatile compounds. The last ones, are aroma precursors present mainly as glycoconjugates formed by a sugar and an aglycone…

The adaptative capacity of a viticultural area (Valle Telesina, Southern Italy) to climate changes

The viticulture aiming at the production of high quality wine is very important for the landscape conservation, because it allows to combine high farmer income with soil conservation

Function, barriers, and the environmental benefits of reuse bottle system for wine
