Les justifications “terroirs” en terme de marketing: les conditions sont réunies pour une rencontre de qualité entre le consommateur moderne et le vin

Terroir is a holistic concept that relates to both environmental and cultural factors that together influence the grape growing to wine production continuum. The physical factors that influence the process include matching a given grape variety to its ideal climate along with optimum site characteristics of elevation, slope, aspect, and soil

Vineyard yield forecasting is a key issue for vintage scheduling and optimization of winemaking operations. High errors in yield forecasting can be found in the wine industry, mainly due to the high spatial variability in vineyards, strong dependency on historical yield data, insufficient use of agroclimatic data and inadequate sampling methods

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The aim of this study is the examination of wines of 9 different clones of a Greek grape variety Xinomavro, (ΧE1, X19, X22, X28, ΧE2 X30, X31, X35, X36, X37), with regards to their phenolic and anthocyanin content and chemical composition.

Aim: Evaluating the effects of high amount of air injection during red wine fermentation process, on phenolic extraction dynamics, oxygen dissolution, phenolic compounds evolution, and oxidation of red wines.MethodsRed grapes musts were fermented in 100.000 L stainless steel tank, equipped with Parsec SRL “Air mixing” gas injection systems. For this experiment, treatments with two injection regimes, high and low intensity, and high and low daily frequency, were used. Oxygen analyzer was introduced into the tank to evaluate the gas concentration evolution along the fermentation.

La caratterizzazione bioclimatica del territorio rappresenta un elemento sempre più impor­tante per il miglioramento dell’ attività agricola. La conoscenza degli andamenti assunti dai parametri meteorologici puà consentire di individuare le peculiarità dei singoli appezzamenti aziendali, ottimizzando le scelte sia in termini tattici (esecuzione dei più opportuni interventi colturali) che strategici (scelta delle specie o varietà più idonee a valorizzare ciascun am­biente).
