Campania region grapevine patrimony: a determination of the heat requirement of 19 nearly all-native ultivars. Nine years of observations.

Abstract

[English version below]

Nous avons peu d’informations sur les cépages cultivés dans la région de la Campania (sud de l’ltalie). En particulier insuffisant sont les études sur les besoins thermiques de tels cépages. Les études sur les besoins thermiques des cépages peuvent contribuer au positionnement correct des cultivars dans les zones capables d’optimiser le rapport génotype-environnement des cépages du quel dépend, l’expression qualitative de la production. Pour les dites motivations nous avons effectué la présente étude, dans laquelle nous avons déterminé les conditions thermiques de 19 cépages presque tous indigènes de la Région, ayant comme référence le modèle proposé par AMERINE et WINKLER (1944). L’étude qui a déterminé une exigence de la chaleur des variétés étudies variables de 1625 degré-jours ( cv Fiano) a 2011 degré-jours (Bianca Zita), ajoute une autre étape à la connaissance du patrimoine viticole de la Campania.

 

There is little information on the grapevines cultivated in the Campania region (south of ltaly). In particular insufficient are the studies on the thermal requirements of such grapevines. Trials on the thermal needs of the grapevines may contribute to the correct positioning of the cultivars in areas able to optimise the environment genotype ratio of a cultivar on which, qualitative expression of the production depends. For said motivations it has been set up the present study, in which it was determined the thermal requirements of 19 cultivars nearly all native of the Region, having like reference the model proposed by AMERINE and WINKLER (1944). The study that evidenced an heat requirement of the studied cultivars variable from 1625 degree-days (cv Fiano) to 2011 degree-days (Bianca Zita), adds an other step to the acquaintance of the Campania grapevine patrimony.

Carbon footprint in Austrian viticulture – Evaluation of the main polluters and possible solutions in entire the production chain

The sustainability certification ‘nachhaltig austria’ (www.sustainableaustria.com) has been offered to austrian wineries in an online version for 10 years and over 25% of the austrian wine-growing area is now certified. Since the 2022 harvest, ‘nachhaltig austria’ has automatically calculated the carbon footprint for each winery, per hectare of vineyard, per litre of bulk wine and per 0.75-litre bottle (poelz, w. And rosner, f.g. 2023). In last year’s publications and numerous presentations at national and international level, topics such as refilling glass bottles, lightweight glass bottles, renewable energy, … Etc.

The use of remote sensing for intra-block vineyard management

L’unité de gestion technique d’un vignoble est aujourd’hui la parcelle. Néanmoins, au sein d’une même parcelle, la variabilité de l’expression végétative et de la constitution des raisins à maturité, peut être grande, en particulier à cause d’une hétérogénéité du sol.

The combined effects of climate, soils, and deficit irrigation on yield and quality of Touriga Nacional under high atmospheric demand in the Douro Region

Global warming is one of the biggest environmental, social and economic threats in several viticultural regions. In the Douro Valley, changes are expected in the coming years, namely an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation. These changes are likely to have consequences for the production and quality of wine.
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of different soil characteristics combined with several deficit irrigation strategies, managed throughout ETc references and predawn leaf water potentials thresholds, on physiology, yield, and qualitative attributes on the Touriga Nacional variety under years of mild to severe water and heat stress.
The studies were conducted over seven years (2015 to 2021) in two plots of a commercial vineyard located at Quinta do Ataíde (Symington Family Estates) planted in 2011 and 2014 at 170 meters elevation, growing under three water regimes: non-irrigated (NI) and two deficit irrigation strategies (30% and 60% ETc) assessed weekly by Ψpd. The site has an annual rainfall below 500 mm, with high atmospheric demand. Climate data was collected from a weather station, located on site. Berry ripening was followed weekly for fruit analysis. At harvest, yield, vigour and pruning weight per vine were determined from 90 vines by treatment. Each season at veraison the NDVI Index was accessed by a drone. The soils physic-chemistry in the experimental blocs were analysed and grouped by SWHC. Delta C-13 analyses were also performed per treatment in two years.Irrigation had a positive effect on yield per vine, mostly due to an increase in berry and cluster weight, and fertility index through the years. A significant increase in sugar content, colour and phenols was observed with deficit irrigation in some years, but vine vigour related to soil characteristics had by far the greatest impact on quality.

Assessment of the impact of actions in the vineyard and its surrounding environment on biodiversity in Rioja Alavesa (Spain)

Traditional viticulture areas have experienced in the last decades an intensification of field practices, linked to an increased use of fertilisers and phytosanitary products, and to a more intensive mechanization and uniformization of the landscape. This change in management has sometimes led to higher rates of soil erosion andloss of soil structure, fertility decline, groundwater contamination, and to an increased pressure of pests and diseases. Additionally, intensification usually leads to a simplification of landscapes, of particular concern in prestigious wine grape regions where the economical revenue encourages the conversion of land use from natural habitats to high value wine grape production. To revert this trend, it is necessary that growers implement actions that promote biodiversity in their vineyards. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the implementation of cover crops, vegetational corridors, dry stone walls and vineyard biodiversity hotspots estimated through the study of arthropods. The work has been carried out in four vineyards in Rioja Alavesa belonging to Ostatu winery, where these infrastructures were implemented in 2020. The presence and diversity of arthropods was studied by capturing them at different times in the season and at different distances from the infrastructure using pit-fall traps in the soil and yellow, white and blue chromatic traps at the canopy level. This is a preliminary study in which all adult insects were sorted to the taxonomic level of order and Coleoptera were classified to morphospecies. The results obtained show that there is a relationship between the basic characteristics of the vineyard and the arthropods captured, with a positive effect, although also dependent on the vineyard, of the presence of infrastructure.

Contribution of grape seeds to evolution of acetaldehyde, pigments and tannins reactive towards salivary proteins of red wine over time

This study investigated the impact of the gsk/gse ratio on the evolution of acetaldehyde and of major phenolic compounds of aglianico wine in wine like solution and real wine. Four model solutions and the correspondant control wines were prepared. The natural weight ratio between grape skins and seeds was determined on the real grapes, and a control wine was obtained from those.
