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

Abstract

The effects of temperature on cv Piedirosso, indigenous of the Campania region (South of Italy), were tested in order to study its possible influence on grapevine and to discover how to optimize the qualitative expression of the cultivar. Relationships between evolution of the main must components, berry weight, and heat requirement of the cv Piedirosso were studied. The cv Piedirosso showed itself to be suitable to the area tested. We evidenced a reasonable agreement of the model of Amerine and Winkler’s estimation as to the thermal needs of cv Piedirosso. The heat requirement of the cultivar was determined in 1750-1850 degrees/day (DD) to obtain a sugar content of 21-22 °Brix, a pH of 3.10-3.20 and a titratable acidity of 8-9 g/l; to obtain a higher sugar content of musts (23-24 °Brix, pH of 3.2-3.3, titratable acidity of 8-9 g/l) the thermal needs is 1800-1900 DD.

Sensory profile of wines obtained from disease-resistant varieties in La Rioja

The European wine industry is facing multiple challenges derived from climate change and the pressure of different fungal diseases that are compromising the production of traditional varieties. A sustainable alternative maybe the adoption of resistant varieties.
In this study, we have evaluated the enological potential of 9 resistant varieties (5 white and 4 red varieties) in La Rioja. Microvinifications were carried out with three biological replications. Oenological parameters were very diverse with acid content varying from 2.6 g/L to 6.6 g/L.
