Application of viticulture zoning in Istria (Croatia) as important element for valorization of all territory resources (product, environment, tourism and others)

Abstract

[English version below]

Un projet touristique innovant est en cours dans la zone historique croate d’Istrie Centrale, autour de la magnifique ville de Motovun. L’approche méthodologique repose sur le concept de «Système Productif-Global du Territoire» et s’appuie tout particulièrement sur celui de « Zonage Vitivinicole ». Elle tient compte de toutes les facettes, définies dans celui de « Grand Zonage » (Cargnello G., 1999). L’une des composantes fondamentales dans ce zonage vitivinicole est la prise en considération du Teran, variété intéressante autochtone historique, qui produit un vin rouge très typique et très lié au milieu. Dans ce programme de zonage vitivinicole, ce vin a été « restauré » à travers une sélection clona le appropriée et l’application en vignoble et en cave de techniques et technologies d’innovation, en tenant compte bien évidemment du produit, du consommateur et du producteur. Dans ce zonage vitivinicole, on a pris en considération par ailleurs les lieux, les dispositions foncières, l’orientation des rangs, les strµctures portantes (hauteurs, matériels, etc.), les systèmes de conduite, les systèmes de taille, la gestion de la végétation, de la production et de la vendange, les structures de transformation et de mise en bouteilles, ainsi que des aspects de communication et de marketing, et encore les structures pour la restauration et pour l’hébergement des touristes.

For construction of one innovative tourist project, was taken the historie zone of central Istria, the city of Motovun, with a rich agriculture and other territory resources. The project was done according facts of Global productive system of territory, with special accent to application of Global productive system of viticulture territory, as previously described Cargnello (1999) in the works about “grande” zoning. One very important component in the valorization process of Motovun city is certainly vine variety named Teran. Variety Teran done the red, hard vine, very special for agro-climatic condition of Motovun area. In this research was done the “reconstruction” of this historie variety, with aim to change in viticulture and vine technology, taken all specificity of tourist market and producer skills. For needs of zoning investigation was taken all specific factors of Motovun area, like: characteristic of soil, the vineyards surfaces, training form, yield and other. The special accent was done to marketing of product, in the chain grape-cellar-win-bottle-consumer. Like a specific consumer in this zone, exist the seasonal tourist market.

Impacts of the projected changes in temperature under scenarios of climate change on vine phenology of three red varieties cultivated in Rioja (Spain)

Grapevine is one of the crops that may suffer more negative impacts under climate change, due not only to changes in temperature but also due to water available. Some of the most direct effects of climate variability on grapevines are the changes in the onset and timing of phenology events and changes in the length of the growing season, which may have further effects on grape quality. The aim of this research was to analyze the changes in vine phenology of some red varieties (Tempranillo, Grenache and Carignan) cultivated in Rioja Oriental (Rioja DOCa), under different climate change scenarios.

From vineyard to bottle. Rationalizing grape compositional drivers of the expression of “Amarone della Valpolicella” terroir

Valpolicella is a famous Italian wine-producing region. One of its main characteristic is the intensive use of grapes that are submitted to post-harvest withering. This is rather unique in the context of red wine, especially for the production of a dry red wine such as Amarone. Amarone wines produced in Valpolicella different geographic origin are anecdotally believed to be aromatically different, although there is no systematic study addressing the chemical bases of such diversity. Aroma is the product of a biochemical and technological series of steps, resulting from the contribution of different volatile molecules deriving from grapes, fermentations, and reactions linked to aging, as well as one of the most important features in the expression of the geographic identity and sensory uniqueness of a wine.

South American Creole grapevines: new varieties identified in the Caravelí Valley (Peru) and their aromatic profile

The valley of Caravelí (Peru) received the first vine plants in colonial times and the tradition of cultivation is maintained thanks to its terroir and artisanal techniques.

Mapping of canopy features in commercial vineyards using machine vision

Vineyard canopy features such canopy porosity and fruit exposure influenced microclimate, fungal disease incidence and grape composition. An objective, rapid and non-invasive method to assess and map the canopy status is needed to apply in precision viticulture. A new method for canopy status assessment and mapping based on non-invasive machine vision was applied in commercial vineyards in this work.

An innovative 21st century frost alert system for an age-old viticulture challenge

Damage during the budbreak period due to spring season frosts remains one of the most significant weather-related challenges to viticulture around the world. For example, in 2021, €2bn of estimated damage was reported in france while >50% of vineyards were badly affected in the UK in 2017.
