Zonazione aziendale nel territorio del Chianti classico e valorizzazione dei vini

Abstract

[English version below]

Nell’ambiente del Chianti Classico è stato applicato un progetto di zonazione aziendale con l’objettivo di valorizzare le produzioni dei diversi vigneti. In particolare sono stati individuati sette siti, sottoposti a studio particolareggiato per un triennio.
I parametri ecopedologici sono stati correlati ai dati fenologici e produttivi, con particolare riguardo alle sostanze coloranti. I vini ottenuti nelle varie tesi sono stati sottoposti ad analisi sensoriale allo scopo di valutare le potenzialità dei vitigno Sangiovese seconda diverse tecni­che di vinificazione, sia in legno che in acciaio.
I risultati sottolineano la variabilità fenotipica del Sangiovese, in relazione alla struttura fisica dei suoli esaminati. In particolare l’accumulo degli zuccheri risulta dipendere dalle caratteristiche del suolo, mentre il contenuto acidico risulta maggiormente influenzato dal­l’annata. ln condizioni climatiche simili i migliori risultati sono stati ottenuti in suoli ricchi di scheletro e terra fine, con buon drenaggio. La tecnica di maturazione del vino ha diversa­mente influenzato i prodotti ottenuti nei vari vigneti.

On a large farm in the Chianti Classico area, seven vineyards were studied. They had different levels of productivity despite similar cultural practices. The different vineyards were studied over a three-year period with regard to environmental and pedological aspects.
The parameters obtained have been correlated to phenological and productive trends, with regard to the sensorial analisys of wine and the color components. The wines were matured in oak barrel and steel tank to point out the best enological use of the different vineyards productions.
The results underline the phenotypical variability of Sangiovese, especialiy due to the physical structure of the examined soils. In particular, sugar accumulation depended on the soil characteristic, white acidity depended on the year. Under similar climate conditions, the best results on wine were obtained in sandy soils originating from sandy limestone rich with rock fragment. Maturation technique, using oak barrels or steel tanks, has differently influenced wines obtained from various soils.

WHAT’S FUTURE FOR SANTORINI’S VITICULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The own-rooted vineyard of Santorini is a unique case of vineyard worldwide that is been cultivated for thousands of years. On the island’s volcanic soil, the vines are still cultivated with traditional techniques, which are adapted to the specific and extreme weather conditions that prevail on it. While climate change is a reality in the Mediterranean region, will Santorini vineyard endure its impact? The study of the traditional training systems, techniques and vine density, as well as the application of sustainable solutions (cover crops and use of kaolin etc.) revealed sustainable methods for the adaptation of the local viticulture to new climatic phenomena that tend to be more and more frequent in the region due to climate change.

Cover crops in vineyards have been extensively studied, as the choice of grass species and their management significantly influence soil properties and vine performance.

Exploring physiological diversity in Vitis genotypes: hydraulic traits in vines for oenological purposes and vines for table grapes

to maintain viticulture under global warming conditions, it is important to carefully select the appropriate genotypes for each vine-growing region and develop cultivars that are drought resistant. this ability is highly dependent on hydraulic traits, which are dynamic and vary according to the vine’s developmental stage and climatic conditions. this framework steadily enhances our understanding of the differences in drought resistance among vitis genotypes. however, there is still a need to comprehensively grasp the intra-specific variability, particularly between oenological and table grape cultivars.
