Effect of “Terroir” on quanti-qualitative paramethers of “vino nobile di Montepulciano”

INTRODUCTION: Lately, there has been an increasing interest in using plant-derived proteins for wine phenolic fining.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a high-tech analytical method that recently found its way into the field of wine analysis with special focus on wine authentication.

In an attempt to reduce the pH of juice and wine, different fertiliser applications and canopy management practices were evaluated in South Africa in a field trial. Fertiliser treatments entailed no, CaSO4, Ca(OH)2, and MgSO4 fertilisation.

Historical records of grapevine phenology have been collected over decades throughout different winegrowing regions. These records have demonstrated advances in key developmental stages such as budburst, flowering and veraison because of increased temperatures due to climate change.

The climate has warmed over the past century or more bringing about changes in numerous aspects in both earth and human systems
