Estudios de zonificación vitícola en España

Abstract

La delimitación y caracterización de zonas vitícolas plantea en España problemas específicos no sólo por las características peculiares del territorio sino también por el tamaño, distribución e índice de ocupación vitícola, variable en cada una de las denominaciones de origen.
En la fig 1 se incluyen datos de las Denominaciones de Origen en las que se llevan o han llevado a cabo trabajos de zonificación en base a la metodología que se indica en este documento. En total suponen más de ochenta mil hectáreas de viñedo circunscritas en una zona de más de un millón de hectáreas.
La metodología se basa en un análisis del medio que incluye la integración de variables referentes al clima, la vegetación, la topografía, la litología, la morfología del relieve y el suelo y la distribución y productividad del viñedo y ha sido descrita en trabajos anteriores (Gómez-Miguel et al., v.a., Sotés et al., v.a.). El resultado final es un mapa cuyas unidades cartográficas (SMU) sintetizan las relaciones entre Unidad Litológica, Geoforma y Serie de Suelos. El tratamiento de la información generada en las capas tratadas por un Sistema de Información Geográfica (GIS) da como resultado la cuantificación de los contenidos y la posibilidad de su tratamiento estadístico (Fig 5).

Rare earth elements distribution in grape berries

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) include 15 lanthanides, yttrium and scandium. Their occurrence in soil and plants seems to be closely tied to the geological composition of the underlying mother rock, to the physical and chemical properties of the soil and to the specific ability of the plant to take up and accumulate these microelements.

NEW METHOD FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF CONDENSED TANNINS AND OTHER WINE PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS USING THE AUTOMATED BIOSYSTEMS SPICA ANALIZER

Wine phenolic compounds are important secondary metabolites in enology due to their antioxidant and nutraceutical properties, and their role in the development of color, taste, and protection of wine from oxidation and spoilage. Tannins are valuable phenolic compounds that contribute significantly to these wine properties, especially in mouthfeel characteristics; however, tannin determination remains a significant challenge, with manual and time-consuming methods or complex methodologies. The purpose of this study is to propose a novel method for quantifying condensed tannins in finished wine products.

Spatial determination of areas in the Western Balkans region favorable for organic production

In problematic conditions for production of grapes and wine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting occurrence of wine surpluses, producers are increasingly turning to the innovative viticulture and winemaking of products that are more appealing to the market and the consumers. On the other hand, consumption of the food safety or organic products, and therefore of organic grapes and wine, is increasingly common in the world, in particular in Europe. The Regional Rural Development Standing Working Group (SWG RRD), as a regional intergovernmental organization gathers actors in the viticulture and winemaking sector from states and territories of the Western Balkans (South-East Europe) in the Expert Working Group for Wine, with the aim of improving viticulture and winemaking in this region through joint activities. In accordance with the aforementioned, the SWG RRD is working on advancing organic production of grapes and wine, and on recognition of specificities of the terroir of wine-growing areas in Western Balkans. In addition, as part of the project “Facilitation of Exchange and Advice on Wine Regulations in Western Balkan Countries” helmed by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, in addition to harmonization of relevant legislation with EU regulations, efforts are being invested towards recognition of organic wines. Within activities and project implemented by this organization, expert analyses and scientific research of the terroir of Western Balkans were carried out, and some of the results are presented in this paper.

Applications pratiques du zonage vitivinicole

Le zonage vitivinicole présente toute une série d’applications pratiques. Son importance est en train d’augmenter, soit en fonction des moyens techniques chaque fois plus performants, qui rendent possible le développement des zonages de plus en plus intégrées, consistants et utiles, soit en fonction d’un marché de plus en plus mondialisé. L’article situe la contribution du zonage au niveau de la production vitivinicole et du développement du territoire.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.
