Enological, economical, social and viticulture ”terroir” units as fundamental elements of mosaic of “big” zoning

Abstract

[English version below]

Nous savons tous très bien qu’on a assisté au cours de ces dix dernières années à une éclosion soudaine de recherches sur le zonage viti-vinicole qui, à partir par exemple du modèle du concept de “terroir”, se sont de plus en plus enrichies en passant aux “Unités ou Systèmes de Transformation” (UTTE) et “Valorisation” (UTCE) pour terminer avec les “Systèmes productifs globaux du Territoire” (UTB) comprenant en filière les aspects existentiels (UTBES), sociaux (UTBSO) et économiques (UTBEC) hypothisés dans le “GRANDE ZONAZIONE: Grand zonage” (MORLAT R., 1996, CARBONNEAU A., 1996, TOUZARD J.M. 1998, CARBONNEAU A., CARGNELLO G., 1996, 1998, CARGNELLO G., 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, -MILOTIC A., CARGNELLO G., PERSURIC G., 1999, PERSURIC G., STAYER M., CARGNELLO G., 2000, MILOTIC A., OPLANIC M., CARGNELLO G., PERSURIC G., 2000).

Nous sommes donc arrivés à supposer que pour zoner en viticulture, et non pas seulement en viticulture, il faut partir des considérations : existentielles, sociales, économiques qui représentent les différents échelons des grands objectifs du zonage, en se servant pour les rejoindre des moyens placés en filière suivants : “terroir” vignoble (exemple : variété, clones, écartement, systèmes de conduite, gestion de la végétation, de la production et de la vendange, etc.), cave ( exemple : utilisation des appareillages, technologies et techniques d’innovation, etc.), communication, marketing, etc., comme on l’a prévu dans le “GRAND ZONAGE” (CARGNELLO G., 1996). Pour vérifier la validité de cette “nouvelle” organisation du zonage viti-vinicole, nous avons conduit en Istrie (Croatie) pour une durée de 5 ans des recherches pour établir si le zonage devait descendre uniquement des aspects concernant le “terroir” ou s’il devait descendre des aspects qui partent de considérations d’ordre social et économique et ensuite de celles “techniques” comprenant la cave, le vignoble, le terrain et le climat. Les recherches conduites en Istrie (Croatie) sur les objectifs et sur les moyens cités ci-dessus ont démontré ultérieurement la validité de ce moyen de procéder dans le zonage viti-vinicole. Elles ont démontré par ailleurs que l’incidence du “terroir” à un niveau décisionnel dans le zonage viti-vinicole peut s’amenuiser par rapport aux autres composantes et en être même dépassée, c’est-à-dire que l’on a justement décidé dans certains cas de faire un vignoble dans un terroir non adapté à la viticulture car les “Unités de Culture Viticole, de Transformation, de Valorisation” et les systèmes productifs globaux ont eu une importance fondamentale pour le zonage. Ces recherches seront exposées dans cette communication.

In the any last decade was the large number of research about viticulture zoning. The begin of zoning research was funded on the term and principle of “terroir”. Then, the term “terroir” was divided to “unite de terroir de base”, “unité de système de culture viticole”, “unite o sisteme de transformation e valorizazion” and as the last new segment “sistemi produtivi globali del territorio” (the global productive system of territory). All this new terms, with a respect to social and economical aspects has a unique name of ”.big” zoning (GRANDE ZONAZIONE) (MORLAT R. 1996, CARBONNEAU A., 1996, TOUZARD J.M., CARBONNEAU A., CARGNELLO G., 1998, CARGNELLO G., 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, MILOTIC A., CARGNELLO G., PERSURIC G. 1999, PERSURIC G., STAVER M., CARGNELLO G., 2000, MILOTIC A, OPLANIC M., CARGNELLO G., PERSURIC G., 2000).

According quoted annotation for successfully process of viticulture zoning, and not only to viticulture, need to start of next items : existence, social aspects, economic aspects, which present the different stairs in the zoning process. The sequence of next terms, “terroir” – vineyards (for example: variety, clone, training form, canopy management, yield and other) – vine cellar (for example : technology of wine making) – communication – marketing make a important factors to process of “big” zoning.For confirm the quoted “new” hypothesis in the zoning process was done the research in the Istria (Croatia). For needs of research was taken all social and economical aspects and then the different techniques in vine growing and wine making, and the characteristics of soil am climate.The research made in Istria was confirmed the hypothesis of “big” zoning process. This research was confirmed also the importance of “terroir” and in the same moment the importance of lower units “unite de culture viticole de transformation de valorisation” for viticulture production.

Polyphenol targeted and untargeted metabolomics on rosé wines : impact of protein fining on polyphenolic composition and color

Color is one of the key elements in the marketing of rosé wines[1]. Their broad range of color is due to the presence of red pigments (i.e. anthocyanins and their derivatives) and yellow pigments, likely including polyphenol oxidation products. Clarifying agents are widely used in the winemaking industry to enhance wine stability and to modulate wine color by binding and precipitating polyphenols[2]. During this study, the impact of four different fining agents (i.e. two vegetal proteins, potatoe and pea proteins, an animal protein, casein, and a synthetic polymer, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, PVPP) on Syrah Rose wine color and phenolic composition (especially pigments) was investigated. Color was characterized by spectrophotometry analysis using the CIELab system in addition to absorbance data. Fining using PVPP had the highest impact on redness (a*) and lightness (L*) parameters, whereas patatin strongly reduced the yellow component (b*) of the wine color. In parallel, the concentration of 125 phenolic compounds including 85 anthocyanins and derived pigments was determined by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to elestrospray ionisaion triple-quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-ESI-MS) in the Multiple Reaction Monitoring mode[3] .

Somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis: driving regeneration forces behind grapevine genetic transformation

Cell pluripotency, enables the possibility to change the cellular fate, stimulating the reorganization and the formation of new vegetative structures from differentiated somatic tissues. Although several factors are implicated in determining the success of a breeding program through the use of modern biotechnological techniques, the definition of a specific regeneration strategy is fundamental to speed up and make these applications feasible.

An evaluation of the physiological responses of young grapevines planted and maintained under water constraint 

The aim of this ongoing study is to evaluate the degree of adaptability of grapevine scion:rootstock combinations to different conditions of water constraint. Here we present results from the young vine development phase, using three scenarios of water constraint that were implemented from planting. The experimental vineyard was established in 2020 and the data presented will cover the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons. The experiment consisted of the cultivars Pinotage (PIN), Shiraz (SHI) and Cabernet Sauvignon (CAB), grafted on two rootstocks, Richter 110 (R110) and USVIT-8-7 (US87).

Optimization of the ripening time of new varieties descendants of Monastrell

Given the impact of climate change on viticulture in the Region of Murcia, this paper attempts to expose the possibility of using genetic improvement as a dilemma that allows access to new descendant varieties of the autochthonous variety Monastrell crossed with varieties such as Syrah and Cabernet. Sauvignon, thus obtaining hybrids (Gebas and Myrtia). In it, the chromatic parameters and the phenolic profile of the new varieties will be compared with those obtained by the Monastrell variety at two moments during maturation (12 and 14 º Baumé), to check if the results would allow earlier harvests in these new varieties thus avoiding the decoupling between phenolic and technological maturity, while improving the quality of grapes and wines.
