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).

Transition metals and light-dependent reactions: application of a response surface methodology approach

Light-induced reactions can be responsible for detrimental changes of white and rosé wines. This is associated to the photo-degradation of riboflavin (RF) and of methionine (Met) causing the appearance of light-struck taste (LST).

The use of δ13C as an indicator of water use efficiency for the selection of drought tolerant grapevine varieties

In the context of climate change with increasing evaporative demand, understanding the water use behavior of different grapevine cultivars is of critical importance. Carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) measurements in wine provide a precise and integrated assessment of the water status of the vines during the sugar accumulation period in grape berries. When collected over multiple vintages on different cultivars, δ13C measurements can also provide insights into the effects of genotype on water use efficiency.

The suitability for viticulture at varying altitudes: a study of grapevine ripening in the Italian Alps

Planting vineyards in cooler climates has been used over recent years as
a strategy to counter the climatic shifts caused by climate change. A move towards higher altitudes in hilly and mountainous wine regions may provide a solution to deleterious effects that increased ambient temperatures have on wine quality. Until now, the influences of higher altitudes and their climates, as well as their effect on vine growing cycles, still holds a lot of scientific uncertainty. The transnational EU-funded project REBECKA (Interreg V-A IT-AT: ITAT1002, duration: 2017-2019) has the objective to develop a regional valuation method to rate the suitability for viticulture in South Tyrol (Italy) and Carinthia (Austria). Preliminary surveys were performed regarding the effects of altitude on ripening performance of the cultivar Pinot Noir.

Grape genetic research in the age of pangenomes

Combined improvements in sequencing technologies and assembly algorithms have led to staggering improvements in the quality of grape genome assemblies.

The influence of site aspect and pruning types on Pinot Noir phenology and shoot growth

Aim: Managing the influence that terroir in vineyards has on vine development depends on improving our understanding the effect of the interaction of within-site variability, within-vine variability, and management practices (such as pruning types) on phenology and vine development. This study evaluates the consequence of site aspect
