Efecto de distintos ambientes sobre las características físico – químicas y sensoriales del Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC

Abstract

La región de Abruzzo está situada entre los Apeninos y el mar Adriático, limitando al norte con el río Tronto y al sur con el Trigno. Desde un punto de vista físico se divide en dos franjas: una montañosa al oeste constituida por rocas calcáreas con frecuentes fenómenos de erosión debido a las corrientes de agua y a la naturaleza calcárea del terreno (“carsismo”) y otra al este, más cercana al mar, representada por una amplia zona de colinas constituida por terrenos arcilloso ​calcáreos y arenosos. Obviamente el clima está influido por la presencia de las grandes montañas del Gran Sasso y Maiella y también por la proximidad al mar Adriático. Así, en las cercanías de la zona montañosa, en la parte occidental, la temperatura difícilmente alcanza la media anual de 12°C, mientras que en la región mas cercana al mar la media anual oscila entre los 12° y los 16°C. Exponemos, a este respecto, las conclusiones de Matassa et al. (1992): “El clima de Abruzzo está influenciado fuertemente por la orografía montañosa y muestra una fuerte variabilidad, pasando de regiones templadas en la costa, a moderadamente templadas en los valles internos y las altas colinas litorales, a moderadamente frías y frías en las montañas”. Así que en general el clima se puede considerar apacible y a excepción de algunas zonas particularmente secas del sur de la región, se da un buen nivel de pluviosidad y es altamente soleado (Matassa et al., 1992). En el área observada por nosotros, en el territorio de Vasto, la pluviosidad, definida por los valores registrados en las estaciones del “Genio Civile” (ente estatal, perteneciente al ministerio italiano de obras públicas) durante el período 1965-93, muestra un aumento desde la costa hacia el interior, pasando de los 630 mm deVasto a los 850 mm de Montazzoli. La actividad vinícola juega un papel de primordial importancia en la economía agrícola del territorio de Vasto ya sea en términos de superficie cultivada como en términos de producción bruta a la venta. En dicha área, 6000 hectáreas están dedicadas al cultivo de la vid, de las cuales aproximadamente 480 (1.8 %) pertenecen a la colina del interior y la alta colina próxima a los montes, mientras que las restantes 5500 ha (92% del total) están localizadas en la colina litoral. La forma de cultivo mas difundida es el clásico emparrado con distancias de plantación de 2,5m x 2,5 m a pesar de que en los últimos años se han adoptado otros sistemas como el GDC.
La región de Abruzzo, a través del ARSSA (Agenzia Regionale per i Servizi di Sviluppo Agricolo), ha participado en el proyecto “Caracterización de vinos típicos” y ha seleccionado el territorio de Vasto para el programa de caracterización del vino Montepulciano d’Abruzzo a Denominación de Origen. El criterio que se ha adoptado para la división del territorio y para el muestreo, ha tenido en consideración esencialmente la disponibilidad térmica, definida a través de los índices bioclimáticos de Winkler e Huglin con referencia a un trabajo precedente que consideraba dichos parámetros a nivel regional (Matassa et al., 1992). Debemos considerar, además, que las características pedológicas cambian poco dentro de cada area examinada, y la forma de cultivo, el emparrado, es la única en todo el territorio. Se considera que la compleja orografía del territorio puede influir de forma notable sobre la distribución de la disponibilidad térmica, determinando una amplia posibilidad de condiciones ambientales dentro de cada zona DOC del vino.
Sobre la base de las consideraciones expuestas se han definido tres áreas a distinta distancia de la costa (fig.1) caracterizadas por disponibilidades térmicas en disminución. Dentro de cada una de ellas se han elegido 5 viñedos muestra (tab.1).
Area A: representativa de la colina litoral donde el cultivo vitícola es mayor. En esta zona el viñedo del ayuntamiento de Pollutri se diferencia de los otros (Casalbordino e Scerni) por la altitud de solamente 40 m sobre el nivel del mar.
Area B: representativa de la colina adyacente a la litoral. Los viñedos pertenecen a dos ayuntamientos , de los cuales uno (Furci) tiene una altitud 3 veces superior a los restantes.
Area C: representativa de la colina próxima a los montes. Los viñedos pertenecen a un solo ayuntamiento y la altitud de los viñedos va desde los 470 a los 555 m sobre el nivel del mar.

Use of multispectral satellite for monitoring vine water status in mediterranean areas

The development of new generations of multispectral satellites such as Sentinel-2 opens possibilities as to vine water status assessment (Cohen et al., 2019). Based on a three years field campaign, a model of Stem Water Potential (SWP) estimation on vine using four satellite bands in Red, Red-Edge, NIR and SWIR domains was developed (Laroche-Pinel et al., 2021). The model relies on SWP field measures done using a pressure chamber (Scholander et al., 1965), which is a common, robust and precise method to assess vine water status (Acevedo-Opazo et al., 2008). The model was mainly developed from from SWP measures on Syrah N (Laroche Pinel E., 2021).

A large scale monitoring was organized in different vineyards in the Mediterranean region in 2021. 10 varieties amongst the most represented in this area were monitored (Cabernet sauvignon N, Chardonnay B, Cinsault N, Grenache N, Merlot N, Mourvèdre N, Sauvignon B, Syrah N, Vermentino B, Viognier B). The model was used to produce water status maps from Sentinel-2 images, starting from the beginning of June (fruit set) up to September (harvest). The average estimated SWP for each vine was compared to actual field SWP measures done by wine growers or technicians during usual monitoring of irrigation programs. The correlations between mean estimated SWP and mean measured SWP were at the same level than expected by the model. (Laroche Pinel, 2021) The general SWP kinetics were comparable. The estimated SWP would have led to same irrigation decisions concerning the date of first irrigation in comparison with measured SWP.

Effect of multi-level and multi-scale spectral data source on vineyard state assessment

Currently, the main goal of agriculture is to promote the resilience of agricultural systems in a sustainable way through the improvement of use efficiency of farm resources, increasing crop yield and quality under climate change conditions. This last is expected to drastically modify plant growth, with possible negative effects, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of Europe on the viticultural sector. In this context, the monitoring of spatial behavior of grapevine during the growing season represents an opportunity to improve the plant management, winegrowers’ incomes, and to preserve the environmental health, but it has additional costs for the farmer. Nowadays, UAS equipped with a VIS-NIR multispectral camera (blue, green, red, red-edge, and NIR) represents a good and relatively cheap solution to assess plant status spatial information (by means of a limited set of spectral vegetation indices), representing important support in precision agriculture management during the growing season. While differences between UAS-based multispectral imagery and point-based spectroscopy are well discussed in the literature, their impact on plant status estimation by vegetation indices is not completely investigated in depth. The aim of this study was to assess the performance level of UAS-based multispectral (5 bands across 450-800nm spectral region with a spatial resolution of 5cm) imagery, reconstructed high-resolution satellite (Sentinel-2A) multispectral imagery (13 bands across 400-2500 nm with spatial resolution of <2 m) through Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach, and point-based field spectroscopy (collecting 600 wavelengths across 400-1000 nm spectral region with a surface footprint of 1-2 cm) in a plant status estimation application, and then, using Bayesian regularization artificial neural network for leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) and plant water status (LWP) prediction. The test site is a Greco vineyard of southern Italy, where detailed and precise records on soil and atmosphere systems, in-vivo plant monitoring of eco-physiological parameters have been conducted.

Spatial variability of temperature is linked to grape composition variability in the Saint-Emilion winegrowing area

Elevated temperature during the grape maturation period is a major threat for grape quality and thus wine quality. Therefore, characterizing the grape composition response to temperature at a larger scale would represent a crucial step towards adaptation to climate change. In response to changes in temperature, various physiological mechanisms regulate grape composition. Primary and secondary metabolisms are both involved in this response, with well-known effects, for example on anthocyanins, and lesser known effects, for example on aromas or aroma precursors. At the field scale or at the regional scale, however, numerous environmental or plant-specific factors intervene to make the effects of temperature difficult to distinguish from overall variability. In this study, it was attempted to overcome this difficulty by selecting well-characterized situations with differing temperatures.
A long-term study of air temperature variability across several Merlot vineyards in the Saint-Emilion and Pomerol wine producing area found significant temperature differences and gradients at various time scales linked to environmental factors. From this study area, a few sites were selected with similar age, soil and training system conditions, and with repeated and contrasted temperature differences during the maturation period. The average temperature difference during the maturation period was about 2°C between cooler and warmer sites, a difference similar to that expected under future climate change scenarios. In close vicinity to the temperature sensors at each site, grape berries were sampled at different times until full maturity during 2019 and 2020. Also, berries from bunches on either side of the row were analyzed separately, allowing an investigation of bunch exposure effect associated with the coupling of berry temperature and solar radiation. Four replicates of pooled berries for each time – site – bunch exposure combination were obtained and analyzed for biochemical composition. Analyses of variance of the biochemical composition data collected at different sampling times reveal significant effects associated with temperature, site, and bunch azimuth. For instance, anthocyanins in grape skins are clearly influenced by temperature and solar radiation exposure, with up to 30% reduction in warmer conditions.
