Étude des potentialités des terroirs viticoles: une démarche globale en zone A.O.C. L’exemple des Côtes du Rhône

For sustainable viticulture, the substitution of chemical inputs with biocontrol products has become one of the most considered strategies. This strategy is based on elicitor-triggered immunity that requires a deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in plant defense activation. Plant immune responses are triggered through the perception of conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) which are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) at the plasma membrane.

The global wine market is polarising over brands versus origin. Provenance is emerging as a marketing megatrend in many fast moving consumer goods. Origin has always been important in wine but does that mean consumers understand, or care about terroir?

Lambrusco is a commercially successful sparkling red and rosé wine. With 13.06 million litres sold in 2021 was the second best-selling Italian wine after Chianti.

The PDOs contemplate the possibility of producing wines by secondary fermentation either in tank (Charmat method), or in bottle (Classico method). Sur lie is a third method commonly employed for Lambrusco, similar to the Classico method, from which differs for the absence of disgorgement.

Climate change is challenging viticulture worldwide compromising its sustainability due to warmer temperatures and the increased frequency of extreme events. Grafting Vitis vinifera L.

Pomace, stem, grapevine leaves, and vine shoots arise as so called winery by-products during the wine production process.
