Salubrity of environment and zoning process: first consideration on the radioactivity of vineyard soils

Abstract

La salubrité du milieu et des aliments intervient de plus en plus lourdement, et souvent négativement, sur la santé de l’homme, aussi bien sur l’individu que sur la société tout entière.
La nécessité, désormais vitale, de trouver des solutions valables à ce grave, problème, sollicite des recherches de plus en plus importantes dans le but de connaître les interactions entre ces variables si complexes.
Dans le secteur vitivinicole, les auteurs avaient déjà fait précédemment des recherches et des communications (OIV, 2001) sur la concentration de la radioactivité dans la chaîne terroir­vigne-raisin-vin, pour un terroir volcanique de la zone des « Castelli Romani» dans le Latium. Ils ont pu déterminer une baisse de la concentration radioactive d’environ 10 fois entre terroir et vigne, et de 100 fois entre terroir et vin.
Nous approfondissons dans ce travail ces recherches élargies aussi à un terroir de type « alluvial », en tentant de faire certaines interprétations en fonction de la physiologie de la vigne (plante pérenne) et de la fermentation de son produit.
Les données obtenues sur certains aliments végétaux à cycle annuel produits sur ces mêmes terroirs, élargissent le cadre des considérations et des hypothèses de travail.

The salubrity of environment and food in the relationship, with a bigger importance in agricultural production, has in the most cases negative sign on the human healthy. According this the salubrity has also a social aspect.
Today exist the high necessity for scientific research and solution for resolve the problem of salubrity, according all factors, which have the importance in the environment.
The authors have published in the previously works (OIV 2001 ), the problem of radioactivity in sequence vineyard soil-vine-grape-wine of specific vineyards soils of “Castelli Romani”, Lazio, vine zone of central Italy. This soil has a volcanic origin. Conceming radioactivity the results showed that the soil / vine ratio was 10 and the soil / wine ratio was 100.
In this research, as a continues of previously research, the observation was done on the one alluvial soil with relationship between radioactivity and physiology process in the vine plant and influence to must fermentation.
The obtained results with the others plant with annual cycle, in the same soils confirm the hypothesis about influence of soil radioactivity to salubrity.

Chardonnay white wine bottled with different oenological tannins: effect on colour traits, volatile composition and sensory attributes during shelf-life

The use of oenological tannins during winemaking has been mostly studied for improving colour traits and stability on red wines. Their effectiveness mainly depends on the tannin composition, grape variety and winemaking approach [1].

Water and nutritional savings shape non-structural carbohydrates in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cuttings

Global changes and sustainability challenge researchers in saving water and nutrients. The response of woody crops, which can be forced at facing more drought events during their life, is particularly important. Vitis vinifera can be an important model for its relevance in countries subjected to climate changes and its breeding, requiring cuttings plantation and strong pruning.

Deciphering grapevine trunk early molecular responses to P. minimum and P. chlamydospora in the presence of a commercial biocontrol agent (Trichoderma atroviride, Vintec®)

Esca, one of the main grapevine trunk diseases, is a complex and poorly understood disease. Phaeoacremonium minimum and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, two of the main pathogens associated to this disease, are thought to be responsible for the first trunk infections. Little is known concerning grapevine trunk defenses during pathogen infection.

Caratterizzazione vitivinicola delle “Terre del Piacenziano” ricomprese nella zona D.O.C. “colli piacentini” attraverso l’analisi sensoriale dei vini prodotti

I territori della Riserva Geologica del Piacenziano sono parte del pedeappennino piacentino e sono noti per essere la culla del Pliocene, quel periodo di storia della Terra compreso tra 5.3 e 1.8 milioni di anni fa. Gli strati argillosi e sabbiosi riccamente fossiliferi qui presenti sono da sempre oggetto di studi geo-paleontologici tant’è che il Pliocene medio (3.6-2.6 milioni di anni fa) è internazionalmente noto come Piacenziano. Le analisi sensoriali strutturate dei vini qui prodotti hanno evidenziato, soprattutto per il vino Monterosso, le positive peculiarità dei loro caratteri sensoriali e descritto gli scostamenti significativi del loro profilo sensoriale rispetto agli altri vini presi a riferimento.

Within-vineyard variability in grape composition at the estate scale can be assessed through machine-learning modeling of plant water status in space and time. A case study from the hills of Adelaida District AVA, Paso Robles, CA, USA

Aim: Through machine-learning modelling of plant water status from environmental characteristics, this work aims to develop a model able to predict grape phenolic composition in space and time to guide selective harvest decisions at the estate scale.
