Environmental protection by means of (“Great”) vitiviniculture zonation

Abstract

In the paper is discussed the first example of environmental protection, agreed in a wide-term sense, by means of vitiviniculture zonations performed in Istria (Croatia) in the area of Butoniga lake, following a methodology of “Great zonation” (Cargnello G. 1998). For vitiviniculture zonation of this area we started from social and economic considerations, to come later on technical, as for example those related to “terroir”. This not only because in this area, aspects of human and animal water supply and protection were fundamental, but also because this operation model is predicted in “Great zonation”. Therefore, as always should be done, zonation descended primarily from social and economic aspects. This set out allowed to emphasise that for example some soils and microclimates not particularly suitable for wine growing according to standards expressed through “pedology” and “climatology”, if considered from the economic and social level can results particularly propitious for wine growing and vice versa. In the present paper are shown results related to environmental protection through zonation (“Great zonation”) in an relevant area in Istria from social and economic point of view. Location and valorisation of vitivinicultural “terroir” should by every mean, in our opinion, descend from and harmonise with social and economic aspects, and thus with “Great” regulatory plan, agricultural, viticultural and vitivinicultural.

Application to the wine sector of European Convention on the landscapes

The landscape is defined by the European convention of the landscape (Florence, October 20, 2000) like part of the territory as perceived by the populations, whose character results from the action of natural and/or human factors and their interrelationships. This convention is based on the contribution cultural, ecological, environmental, social of the landscapes and aims at a reinforcement of the tools of protection and valorization in particular in the agricultural policies, of regional planning and town planning. Moreover, it encourages a step of identification and qualification of the landscapes and underlines the need for developing the sensitizing and the training of the actors concerned.

Terpenoids and norisoprenoids in italian red wines

AIM Terpene compounds are associated with floral notes and are characteristic of aromatic grape varieties such as Muscat (Jackson, 2008). They are generally considered to potentially contribute to the aroma of white wines. However, there is a growing interest towards the potential contribution of terpene compounds to the aroma of red wines. The aim of this work was to investigate the occurrence of different terpenes in red wines from Italian varieties. METHODS For this study wines from 11 mono-varietal Italian red wines from 12 regions were used (19 Sangiovese, 11 Nebbiolo, 10 Aglianico, 11 Primitivo, 10 Raboso del Piave, 9 Cannonau, 11 Teroldego, 3 Nerello, 9 Montepulciano, 7 Corvina). All samples were from vintage 2016 and none of them had been in contact with wood. A total of 19 terpenes and 7 norisoprenoids were analysed by mean of SPME-GC-MS analysis using a DVB-CAR-PDMS fiber. The wines were collected in the framework of the activities of the D-Wines (Diversity of Italian wines) project.

Interest and impact of PVP/PVI (Polyvinylpyrrolidone/ Polyvinylimidazole) on winemaking and final quality of wines

Céline Sparrow a, Christophe Morge a, a SOFRALAB SAS, 79, av. A.A. Thévenet – CS 11031 – 51530 Magenta, France Consumers’ health and security force authorities to limit, in wine as in others food industry products, the concentration in « dangerous » molecules. Therefore the legal limit in heavy metals keeps on decreasing. As per proof EU regulation just decrease the stain concentration in wine from 0,2 to 0,15 mg/l. Certain changes , such as sodium arsenite treatment in vines, disappearance of brass in wineries to the benefit of stainless steel, limit even more the concentration of heavy metals in wines. But the use of copper derivates in vines treatments is difficult to replace. In the case of wine and its elaboration, the problem is even more complex. Indeed, regulation forces the wine producers to control the concentration of certain heavy metals in final wines.
