“Terroir” and “Great” zonation study regarding Istrian Malvasia, Porec Rosy Muscat and Momjan White Muscat (HR)

Abstract

In a so called “Great” zonation, “terroir” study is of great importance also in aim of the best exploiting. In the present paper are shown results from the research in Istria with the aim of individuating the influence of soil (terra rossa and flysch) and of altitude on quality of three important autochtone varieties: “Istrian Malvasia”, “Porec Rosy Muscat” and “Momjan White Muscat”. Final goal was to furnish important elements to vitivinicultural zonation enclosed in a wide context of regulatory plans: vitivinicultural, viticultural, agricultural and general plan of the area. On this purpose, vineyards in full maturity were selected in Porec (80 end 220 msl) and Motovun (50 end 185 msl)) for Istrian Malvasia, in Porec ( 50 msl), and Visnjan (250 msl) for Rosy Muscat, in Momjan (220 and 350 msl) and Porec (50 end 200) for Whit Muscat, growing on terra rossa and flysch. During maturation and harvesting were performed some enochemical parameters (sugars, total acids, pH) and quantitative parameters. After viniflcation chemical and organoleptic analysis of wines were performed. It was also determined the economic quality (QE) of vines. Finally, vines were estimated according to the so called CIMEC methodology considering not only organoleptic quality but also preference, price, cost and profit. On basis of quantitative, enochemical, organoleptic and economic results, some interesting indications came out on the influence of soil type and altitude on productive qualitative, quantitative and business aspects of studied viticultures, objects of zonation (“Great” zonation).

Concorrenza, qualità, zonazione. Una valutazione economica della relazione tra politiche, regole e strumenti di gestione dei prodotti del territorio

In questa nota viene analizzata l’importanza della conoscenza del territorio nel funzionamento del mercato dei prodotti alimentari di qualità e nella gestione delle denominazioni di origine.
La denominazione di origine si sta affermando in tutti i mercati alimentari, dopo l’esperienza secolare maturata nel mercato del vino. Iniziative nel campo del turismo, delle produzioni ecologiche, della promozione dello sviluppo, sono collegate alla dimensione territoriale, in risposta ad un generale orientamento della domanda.

The effects of perennial cover crop management on soil temperature and vine water status

The implications of perennial cover crop management on vine vigor and yield have been well documented. However, whereas multiple studies show that cover crop management affects grapevine dry matter production, water, and nutrient status, the specific effects of a new hybrid perennial cover crop on soil temperature and its relationship to vine water status in vineyards has not been explored. This study will compare 3 different perennial cover crop combinations and tillage practices with a no-till seeding of a new hybrid perennial, Poa bulbosa (Pb).

Caractérisation du terroir en Espagne : méthodologie de l’évaluation et de la validation

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in characterizing the ecological environment of vineyard production, and the growing need to delimit and characterize with precision the different homogeneous viticultural units. This has allowed the development of new studies which have as their objective the Vineyard Zoning. The delimitation and characterization of wine-growing areas poses specific problems in Spain, not only linked to the specific characteristics of the territory, but also to the size, distribution and index of viticultural occupation in the designations of origin.

Evaluation of uhph treatment as an alternative to heat treatment prior to the use of proteolytic enzymes on must to achieve protein stability in wine

There are currently enzyme preparations on the market with specific protease activities capable of degrading unstable must proteins and preventing turbidity in white and rosé wines. The main drawback is the need to heat the must at 75ºc for 1-2 minutes to denature the proteins and facilitate enzyme action.
