Bilan hydrique: une méthode proposée pour l’évaluation des réserves hydriques dans le zonage viticole

Abstract

Dans le zonage viticole mis en place dans la province de Taranto, on a introduit la méthode du bilan hydrique pour évaluer les réserves hydriques dans les 8 zones déterminées (Zones 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B).
Cette évaluation revêt une importance toute particulière car dans ce milieu l’eau constitue un facteur limitatif.
Une première phase de mise au point de la méthode a été prévue en 1998 et a été effectuée en comparant les données d’humidité évaluées et celles mesureés directement avec la méthode “gravimétrique”.
Les données recueillies jusqu’à présent et circonscrites à la variété Primitivo des zones 2, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, mettent en évidence que la méthode proposée est en mesure de relever de façon satisfaisante les différences d’humidité.. Si nous observons ces premiers résultats, la réponse de cette méthode semble être donc positive et en ligne avec les expectatives prévues.

The chances for using non-saccharomyces wine yeasts for a sustainable winemaking

Climate changes and the trend towards organic and more sustainable winemaking highlighted the need to use biological methodologies. The reduction in the use of SO2, the need of the reduction of ethanol content of wines and the now need to reduce or eliminate chemical phytosanitary products, have prompted the search for alternative practices.

Biotype diversity within the autochthonous ‘Bobal’ grapevine variety

Bobal is the second most widely grown Spanish red grape variety (54,165 has), mainly cultivated in the Valencian Community and especially, in Utiel-Requena region (about 67% of 34,000 has). In this study, agronomic and enological parameters were determined in 98 biotypes selected during 2018 and 2019 in more than 50 vineyards over 50 years-old in the Utiel-Requena region. Moreover, a multi-criteria approach considering temperature and rainfall (Fig. 1A), among other parameters, was made to establish three different zones within the region (Fig. 1B), where in the future the selected biotypes will evaluated. In fact, in 2020, 4 replicates and 12 vines per biotype were planted in an experimental vineyard to preserve this important intra-cultivar diversity.

Experimental vinification of withered grapes of Vitis vinifera “Muscat of Alexandria”

The objective of the present work is to investigate wine produced from dehydrated grapes and vinified according to classical Roman manuals.

METHODS – Locally produced Muscat of Alexandria’s grapes were used for the sweet wine production, grown in the experimental vineyard of Instituto Superior de Agronomia (Lisbon, Portugal). The grapes were harvested manually slightly over-ripe and subjected to greenhouse drying. After 7-10 days dried grapes were transported to an experimental winery for various operations (e.g., grape weighing, sorting, crushing/destemming). Several maceration protocols were used comprising the addition of saltwater and white wine to whole bunches or destemmed grapes. Fermentation was conducted with the addition of commercial yeast. The standard physico-chemical parameters of wines were determined according to the OIV standards.

Geopedological and climatic zoning of northern Malaga vineyards region: Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero and Mollina (southern Spain)

The vineyards placed in the municipal areas of Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero and Mollina constitute a wine-growing important area of the “Zona Norte” of the province of Málaga.

The importance of the physicochemical composition of wine on the score awarded in an official contest

The quality of wine is difficult to define. This is most certainly accredited to everyone´s different perception of quality. Some of the indicators of high-quality wines are color complexity and balance. Color is one of the most crucial attributes of quality, not only for the obvious implications for their perception but also because they are indicators of other aspects related to its aroma and taste.
