Productivity, quality, and thermal needs of the Piedirosso vine: four years of observations

Climate change presents a significant challenge for actual viticulture. In this context, recovering minority grape varieties can be a crucial strategy to ensure resilience, particularly those capable of maintaining quality and aromatic complexity under water stress.

Aims: The aims of this study were to (i) characterize bacterial and fungal communities in selected Australian vineyard soils and (ii) determine if the soil microbiome composition and diversity varied between different zones within a vineyard. 

Light exposure is one of the major factors affecting the sensory quality of rosé wines and resulting in the light-struck fault.

Face au risque de banalisation des produits agroalimentaires, un intérêt toujours plus marqué se développe en faveur des produits du terroir.

The mechanization of pruning and harvesting in vineyards has increased the risk of soil compaction. To reclaim soil properties or avoid this degradation process, it is crucial to properly manage the soil organic matter, and the application of compost derived from the vines themselves is a strategy to achieve this. The objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of soil treated with different doses of compost applied both on the vine row and the inter rows of a Vitis vinifera crop.
