Clone performance under different environmental conditions in California

Abstract

Clonal evaluation of winegrapes in California has not been extensive. Early selection work by Alley (1977), Olmo (unpublished data) and Goheen (personal communication) resulted in the current collection of virus-tested clones in Foundation Plant Materials Service (FPMS) at the University of California, Davis. However, release of these certified selections was generally not accompanied by publication of viticultural performance or wine sensory attributes. A present day effort to characterize differences among clones of several cultivars has begun (Wolpert et al, 1995), with the objective of determining the viticultural and enological characteristics of winegrape clones. Research to date has centered on certified selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot noir (for sparkling wine) and Zinfandel. In this paper, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Chardonnay performance will be examined in greater detail.

Il turismo del vino: dalla logica individuale a quella di distretto

In alcuni lavori condotti alcuni anni or sono, abbiamo analizzato per un verso le tendenze della domanda di prodotti enologici, ed il comportamento del consumatore, e per un altro verso le motivazioni alla base delle scelte dell’enoturista, ovvero di colui che va per vigne e cantine per fruire di risorse enogastronomiche.

Interaction Between Armenian Clay-based Ceramic and Model Wine

Clay-based ceramic vessels (jars, pyhtoi, etc.) for wine fermentation and aging processes have been used in several cultures for millennia. This know-how still in practice in several countries of the Armenian highland is gaining worldwide in curiosity, popularity, and interest. Ceramic pots are famous among traditional winemakers for their benefits such as temperature regulation, natural cooling system, favorable oxygen exchange, and impact on pH, which are different from those of stainless steel, wood barrels, or concrete.
