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.).

Smartphone as a tool for deficit irrigation management in Vitis vinifera  

Vine water status is one of the most influential factors in grape vigor, yield, and quality (Ojeda et al., 2002; Guilpart et al., 2014). Severe water deficits during the first stage of crop development (bud break to fruit set) impact yield in the current year and the following year. While during grape ripening, water availability impacts berry size, grape composition, and health status. Therefore, a correct assessment of plant water status allows for proper water management with an impact on grape yield and composition (McClymont et al, 2012; Pereyra et al., 2022).

The start of Croatian grapevine breeding program

Modern viticulture in Croatia and the world is mainly based on the grapevine varieties susceptible to various diseases and pests, which leads to unsustainable use of large amounts of pesticides. The sustainable development of viticulture in the future will only be possible by increasing the resistance of the grapevine through the development of new resistant varieties. Breeding programs have been launched in the leading wine-growing countries with the aim of developing resistant varieties possessing high quality level. Coratia is rich in in native grapevine varieties that are the basis of wine production, and are not included in the breeding programs of other countries.

Enhancing table grape production: addressing challenges and opportunities for sustainability and quality improvement

Table grapes, being consumed as fresh, raisins, and transformed products are among the most appreciated fruits worldwide. Its popularity is increasing also due to its organoleptic and nutritional qualities that meet the consumers’ interest in healthier foods. Recent data from International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) revealed that table grape production has doubled in the last twenty years, and varietal availability has increased thanks to the several breeding programs.
To maintain the socio-economic impact of this sector, new challenges need to be addressed.

The grapevine single-berry clock, practical tools and outcomes 

The dynamic sequence of physiological events along the three-months of berry development from anthesis to ripe stage has been thoroughly investigated. Most studies were performed on average samples, taking care to crush enough fruits to fairly represent the overall trend of the future harvest. However, phenological stages like 30% caps off (EL25) highlights the asynchronous nature of this population. Consequently, softening, onset of sugar accumulation and coloration were melted by asynchrony in a developmental mumbo jumbo, until their respective timing could be clarified by single berries approaches.
