Genotype-environment interaction of three cultivars of vitis vinifera L. cultivated in two different environments of the Ischia island: effect on production and quality; aspects of the quality of the obtained wines

Abstract

Pendant une période de trois années le comportement productif et qualitatif de trois cépages tous indigènes de la région de Campania (Italie méridionale) dans deux terroirs de l’île d’Ischia a été étudié; ceci pour obtenir quelques indications préliminaires sur le comportement productif et qualitatif des cépages et sur la qualité des vins. Les résultats obtenus indiquent la non-existence de facteurs limitants pour la culture de tous les cultivars testés dans les terroirs considérés. Le comportement des cépages et la qualité des vins obtenus la plupart du temps ont été plus influencée par le «facteur cépages» que par le «facteur terroir». Le vin de Biancolella a été catalogué comme «acceptable». Greco et Fiano comme «bon».

During a three year period the productive and qualitative behaviour of three grapevines, all native of the Campania region (Southern ltaly), in two distinguished environments of the Ischia island it has been studied, with the aim to obtain some preliminary indications on the productive and qualitative grapevines behaviour and on the quality of the obtainable wines. The results indicate the nonexistence, for all the tested cultivars, of limiting factors their cultivation in the considered environments. The grapevines behaviour and the quality of the obtained wines mostly were influenced by the “grapevine factor” than by the “terroir factor”. Biancolella wine was categorised as “acceptable”, Greco and Fiano as “good”.

IDENTIFICATION OF NEW RESVERATROL DERIVATIVES FORMED IN RED WINE AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Stilbenes are natural bioactive polyphenols produced by grapevine. Recently, we have reviewed the na- tural presence of these compounds in wines [1]. This study showed that the resveratrol and its glycoside, the piceid, are the most abundant stilbenes in wines. Resveratrol is a well-known stilbene with a wide range of biological activities. Due to its specific structure, resveratrol can be oxidized in wines to form various derivatives including oligomers [2]. In this study, we investigate the resveratrol and piceid transformation in wines.

Amyndeon‐naoussa: the two faces of Xinomavro

Xinomavro is the most important indigenous red wine variety grown in Northern Greece. It participates in the production of several PGI wines in Macedonia while from 100% Xinomavro the PDO “Amyndeon” and “Naoussa” are produced. The viticultural area of Amyndeon lies in a plateau of 550 ‐700 m of altitude, in a semi‐continental climate with mostly deep sandy loamy soils derived from limestone and marl bedrocks while in Naoussa, Xinomavro is grown in a Mediterranean climate on more heavy textured soils, sandy clay loam to clay, derived from ophiolithic, limestone and marl bedrocks, in an altitude which varies from 150 to 400 m. Different soil, climate and viticultural technique interactions, result in great variability with respect to morphological, ampelographical and physiological characters of Xinomavro as well as in the characteristics of the wines produced. 

Image based vineyard yield prediction using empirical models to estimate bunch occlusion by leaves

Vineyard yield estimation brings several advantages to the entire wine industry. It can provide useful information to support decision making regarding bunch thinning practices, harvest logistics and marketing strategies, as well as to manage stored wine and cellar tanks allocation. Today, this estimation is performed mainly using manual methods based on destructive bunch sampling.

Spatial suitability analysis for site selection of vineyards using biophysical models and computational intelligence

Developing a sustainable agricultural production system and acquiring the full potential of land resources requires employing land-use assessment. This entails knowledge of the climate, soil, and topography of the area of interest.
