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”.

Simulated climate change in a Mediterranean organic vineyard altered the plant physiology and decreased the vine production

This study focuses on investigating the effects of climate change on the plant physiology and berries of Vitis vinifera cv “Monastrell” in a commercial vineyard managed organically in Southeastern Spain (Jumilla, Murcia). For this purpose, open top chambers and rainout shelters were employed to simulate warming (~2-7 ºC, W) and rainfall reduction (~30%, RR) respectively. Additionally, a combination of both treatments (W+RR) was employed. Vines without either top chambers or rainout shelters were considered as control (C). The experiment was established in February of 2023. Predawn leaf water potential (measured using a pressure chamber), stomatal conductance (assessed with a porometer at mid-morning) and leaf chlorophyll and flavonoid content (measured using the Dualex® leaf clip sensor) were analyzed at veraison (5 months after the installation of structures).

Sustainable vineyard management at the regional scale: insights from a Swiss winegrowing region

Swiss wine producers are faced to high production costs and low-priced wine imports.

Shoot heterogeneity effects in a Shiraz/R99 vineyard

Nous avons fait des recherches sur l’effet de l’hétérogénéité des bourgeons sur les paramètres de la croissance végétative et reproductive, la physiologie de la vigne et la composition du raisin dans une parcelle de Shiraz/Richter 99. Des bourgeons sous-développés (typiquement plus courts et moins mûrs à la véraison) ont été comparés avec

Enological and nutraceutical potential of some grape varieties tolerant to downy mildew and powdery mildew

AIM: Since 2012 the Veneto Region regulation (north-east Italy) allowed wine production using 20 hybrid grapevine varieties selected for their high tolerance to downy mildew and powdery mildew. Characterized by vigour, high grape productivity and low pesticide use, these varieties are suitable to develop sustainable viticulture in mountain areas located at medium altitudes.

Influence de l’ensoleillement sur la composante aromatique des baies de raisin

Syrah is a grape with weak aromatic expression. This atypical grape variety as a fruit allows the production of wines of great reputation for which the aromatic particularity plays an important role. The varietal aroma consists of volatile substances directly perceptible by the olfactory mucosa and of aroma precursors, of which the glycosides constitute an important class.
