Le Pinot noir dans la zone AOC des “Colli Orientali del Friuli” (nord-est de l’Italie) : influence de la forme de taille sur les paramètres viticoles et œnologiques du raisin et du vin

Abstract

Le Pinot noir est un cépage de cuve intéressant pour les produits de grande qualité qu’il fournit dans les zones les mieux adaptées. En France, les zones de culture du Pinot noir les plus importantes sont la Bourgogne, la Champagne, l’Alsace et la Loire. En Italie, le Pinot noir est cultivé presque exclusivement dans les régions septentrionales qui sont le Trentino-Alto Adige, la Lombardie et le Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Le Pinot noir était déjà présent dans le Frioul au siècle demier comme en témoigne la Conférence œnologique d’Autriche de 1891 (3) qui a enregistré ce cépage dans la région de Gorizia et a recommandé son implantation dans des zones pas trop chaudes et sur des terrains pas trop arides (“au pied des collines et au sommet de collines fraîches, comme dans les régions de Canale et de Ronzina”, actuellement Kanal et Rocinj, en Slovénie) (3). Malgré ces recommandations, on enregistre dans les années trente une diminution constante du Pinot noir dans cette zone en raison de l’introduction d’autres cépages considérés comme plus nobles, tels que le Cabernet Franc, le Sauvignon et le Merlot (16). Ce manque d’intérêt, qui se confirme dans les décennies suivantes, est vraisemblablement dû au fait que, dans nos régions, cette cultivar est gravement pénalisée par l’influence de l’année. Ces dernières années, on a au contraire enregistré une augmentation de l’utilisation de ce cépage aussi bien dans le Frioul que dans d’autres zones de l’Italie septentrionale. En Italie, la majorité du raisin Pinot noir est vinifié en blanc pour la production de base mousseuse mais un certain pourcentage est vinifié en rouge pour l’obtention de vins de qualité. On remarque, toutefois, une méconnaissance, sur le plan viticole, du comportement de la variété et de son adaptation aux régions de culture de l’Italie nord-orientale. La présente recherche a donc pour objectif l’étude de la réponse du Pinot noir sur les collines du Frioul et la mise au point d’une technique de culture destinée à optimiser cette adaptation. Pour ce faire, le cépage a été cultivé sur des coteaux avec quatre formes différentes de taille et les raisins ainsi obtenus ont ensuite été vinifiés en rouge séparément pour chaque forme.

‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ (Vitis vinifera L.) berry skin flavonol and anthocyanin composition is affected by trellis systems and applied water amounts

Trellis systems are selected in wine grape vineyards to mainly maximize vineyard yield and maintain berry quality. This study was conducted in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate six commonly utilized trellis systems including a vertical shoot positioning (VSP), two relaxed VSPs (VSP60 and VSP80), a single high wire (SH), a high quadrilateral (HQ), and a guyot (GY), combined with three levels of irrigation regimes based on different crop evapotranspiration (ETc) replacements, including a 25% ETc, 50% ETc, and 100% ETc. The results indicated SH yielded the most fruits and accumulated the most total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest in 2020, however, it showed the lowest TSS in the second season. In 2020, SH and HQ showed higher concentrations in most of the anthocyanin derivatives compared to the VSPs. Similar comparisons were noticed in 2021 as well. SH and HQ also accumulated more flavonols in both years compared to other trellis systems. Overall, this study provides information on the efficacy of trellis systems on grapevine yield and berry flavonoid accumulation in a currently warming climate.

Underpinning terroir with data: rethinking the zoning paradigm

Agriculture, natural resource management and the production and sale of products such as wine are increasingly data-driven activities. Thus, the use of remote and proximal crop and soil sensors to aid management decisions is becoming commonplace and ‘Agtech’ is proliferating commercially; mapping, underpinned by geographical information systems and complex methods of spatial analysis, is widely used. Likewise, the chemical and sensory analysis of wines draws on multivariate statistics; the efficient winery intake of grapes, subsequent production of wines and their delivery to markets relies on logistics; whilst the sales and marketing of wines is increasingly driven by artificial intelligence linked to the recorded purchasing behaviour of consumers. In brief, there is data everywhere!

Opinions will vary on whether these developments are a good thing. Those concerned with the ‘mystique’ of wine, or the historical aspects of terroir and its preservation, may find them confronting. In contrast, they offer an opportunity to those interested in the biophysical elements of terroir, and efforts aimed at better understanding how these impact on vineyard performance and the sensory attributes of resultant wines. At the previous Terroir Congress, we demonstrated the potential of analytical methods used at the within-vineyard scale in the development of Precision Viticulture, in contributing to a quantitative understanding of regional terroir. For this conference, we take this approach forward with examples from contrasting locations in both the northern and southern hemispheres. We show how, by focussing on the vineyards within winegrowing regions, as opposed to all of the land within those regions, we might move towards a more robust terroir zoning than one derived from a mixture of history, thematic mapping, heuristics and the whims of marketers. Aside from providing improved understanding by underpinning terroir with data, such methods should also promote improved management of the entire wine value chain.

Understanding graft union formation by using metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches during the first days after grafting in grapevine

Since the arrival of Phyloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifolia) in Europe at the end of the 19th century, grafting has become essential to cultivate Vitis vinifera. Today, grafting provides not only resistance to this aphid, but it used to adapt the cultivars according to the type of soil, environment, or grape production requirements by using a panel of rootstocks. As part of vineyard decline, it is often mentioned the importance of producing quality grafted grapevine to improve vineyard longevity, but, to our knowledge, no study has been able to demonstrate that grafting has a role in this context. However, some scion/rootstock combinations are considered as incompatible due to poor graft union formation and subsequently high plant mortality soon after grafting. In a context of climate change where the creation of new cultivars and rootstocks is at the centre of research, the ability of new cultivars to be grafted is therefore essential. The early identification of graft incompatibility could allow the selection of non-viable plants before planting and would have a beneficial impact on research and development in the nursery sector. For this reason, our studies have focused on the identification of metabolic and transcriptomic markers of poor grafting success during the first days/week after grafting; we have identified some correlations between some specialized metabolites, especially stilbenes, and grafting success, as well as an accumulation of some amino acids in the incompatible combination. The study of the metabolome and the transcriptome allowed us to understand and characterise the processes involved during graft union formation.
