Diversificazione e valorizzazione di produzioni tipiche sul territorio: I cesanesi

Pergola veronese is the most important vine training system in Valpolicella area but Guyot in the last decades is diffusing. Rondinella is one of the three most important varieties

Green cover in vine rows provides many ecological services, but can also negatively impact the crop, depending on the weed species. The composition of a vineyard weed community is influenced by many parameters. Ensuring an evolution of the vine row flora into a desired direction is therefore very complex. A key step towards this goal is to know which factors influence the establishment of the weed community and which types of communities are best suited for vineyards. In this study, we analysed the weed communities of several vineyards in the Lake Geneva region (379 botanical surveys on 117 plots), with the aim to highlight the links between soil management practices (chemical and mechanical weeding, mowing, mulching roll) and phytosociological profiles, biodiversity and selected functional traits (growth forms, life strategies, root depth). T

A large genetic diversity exists among V. vinifera varieties, but also among cultivated rootstocks. This diversity is important to adapt plant material to different environmental conditions

Aims: Microscopic bud dissection is a common tool used to assess grapevine bud fertility and therefore to predict the yield of the following season

The use of the term bioprotection in winemaking refers to the use of non-chemical methods to prevent the development of undesirable microorganisms (yeasts and/or bacteria). The reason for studying this method is mainly as a natural alternative to the addition of sulfites during the pre-fermentation stages. In winemaking, the addition of s02 has multiple functions, the main ones being antiseptic and antioxidant power.
