Terroir e DOC: riflessi produttivi e commercial

Abstract

Da dove scaturisce tutto l’interesse attuale per il terroir? Si provi, per dare risposta a questo quesito, ad immaginare il vino avulso dalla sua dimensione territoriale. Cosa si otterrebbe? Un vino bianco, un vino rosso o quant’altro, ma comunque un prodotto privo di conno­tazione geografica, di premesse storiche, di radici tradizionali, di potere evocativo, di iden­tità e di personalità.
La viticoltura, a differenza di altre produzioni agroalimetari, ha da sempre “denominato” i propri prodotti con il nome della zona d’origine ed oggi, nell’epoca in cui spesso la qualità e il valore degli alimenti vengono riconosciuti solo in riferimento all’area di produzione, il vino continua a godere di questo innegabile vantaggio strategico.
Inoltre il binomio vino-territorio assume rinnovato interesse ai giomi nostri, dove sotto la spinta dell’enoturismo, il territorio ha assunto accanto alla funzione storica di “fattore di pro­duzione”, anche quella moderna di “prodotto” (De Ros & Falcetti, 1996). Il vino, cioè, si vende sia in virtù della qualità intrinseca (che potremo definire tecnica ed organolettica), sia grazie al suo “intorno” rappresentato dalla cantina, dalla zona di produzione, dalle manifes­tazioni legaate ad esso, etc.
Il presente contributo è volto a chiarire la relazione tra terroir e DOC, sia per quanto riguar­da gli aspetti produttivi che la sua componente extraproduttiva (marketing, comunicazione, commerciale, etc.).

Deep learning based models for grapevine phenology

the phenological evolution is a crucial aspect of grapevine growth and development. Accurate detection of phenological stages can improve vineyard management, leading to better crop yield and quality traits. However, traditional methods of phenological tracking such as on-site observations are time-consuming and labour-intensive. This work proposes a scalable data-driven method to automatically detect key phenological stages of grapevines using satellite data. Our approach applies to vast areas because it solely relies on open and satellite data having global coverage without requiring any in-field data from weather stations or other sensors making the approach extensible to other areas.

Rootstock mediated responses of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) metabolism and physiology to combined water deficit and salinity stress in Syrah grafts

Water deficit and salinity are increasingly affecting the viticulture and wine industry. These two stresses are intimately related; understanding the physiological and metabolic responses of grapevines to water deficit, salinity and combined stress is critical for developing strategies to mitigate the nega- tive impacts of these stresses on wine grape production. These strategies can include selecting more tolerant grapevine cultivars and graft combinations, improving irrigation management, and using soil amendments to reduce the effects of salinity. For this purpose, understanding the response of grape- vine metabolism to altered water balance and salinity is of pivotal importance.

Exploring the impact of NPR3 gene silencing on the interaction between grapevine and mycorrhizal fungi through genome editing

One of the main plant defence mechanisms is the Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) mediated by Salicylic Acid (SA). This is a heightened and broad-spectrum immune response initiated by the exposure to pathogens, inducing resistance not only in the infected site, but also throughout the entire plant. It was demonstrated that plant immune system can be regulated by two classes of SA receptors: NONEXPRESSOR OF PR GENES 1 (NPR1) and NPR1-LIKE PROTEIN 3 and 4 (NPR3/NPR4). While NPR1 is required for SA-induction followed by the expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) protein and resistance against pathogens, NPR3/NPR4 serve as transcriptional co-repressors of SA-responsive genes.
