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.

Polyphenolic profile and dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented grape pomace

The valorization of winemaking byproducts is subordinated to the knowledge of their chemical characteristics. This work concerned the determination of the polyphenolic profile and the dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented pomace of different cultivars (Moscato bianco, Cortese, Arneis, Pinot Noir, Barbera, Grignolino, Nebbiolo), sampled from some wineries in the Piedmont area (Italy) during the 2020 harvest.

Interaction between commercial mannoproteins and phenolic compounds of two red wines from different Portuguese grape cultivars

The interaction between mannoproteins and wine phenolic compounds is a subject of great interest as some studies show the possible impact in color stability and an improvement in the sensory characteristics namely the reduction of red wine astringency.

Climate and the evolving mix of grape varieties in Australia’s wine regions

The purpose of this study is to examine the changing mix of winegrape varieties in Australia so as to address the question: In the light of key climate indicators and predictions of further climate change, how appropriate are the grape varieties currently planted in Australia’s wine regions? To achieve this, regions are classified into zones according to each region’s climate variables, particularly average growing season temperature (GST), leaving aside within-region variations in climates. Five different climatic classifications are reported. Using projections of GSTs for the mid- and late 21st century, the extent to which each region is projected to move from its current zone classification to a warmer one is reported. Also shown is the changing proportion of each of 21 key varieties grown in a GST zone considered to be optimal for premium winegrape production. Together these indicators strengthen earlier suggestions that the mix of varieties may be currently less than ideal in many Australian wine regions, and would become even less so in coming decades if that mix was not altered in the anticipation of climate change. That is, grape varieties in many (especially the warmest) regions will have to keep changing, or wineries will have to seek fruit from higher latitudes or elevations if they wish to retain their current mix of varieties and wine styles.
