Application of nitrogen forms such as nitrate, urea, and amino acids effects on leaf and berry physiology and wine quality

Aims: Soils are an intrinsic feature of the landscape and have influenced culturally and economically important terroir delineation in many wine-producing regions of the world. Soil physiochemical properties govern a wide array of ecosystem services, and can therefore affect grapevine health and fruit development. These physiochemical properties can reflect a combination of factors,

The landscape is defined by the European convention of the landscape (Florence, October 20, 2000) like part of the territory as perceived by the populations, whose character results from the action of natural and/or human factors and their interrelationships. This convention is based on the contribution cultural, ecological, environmental, social of the landscapes and aims at a reinforcement of the tools of protection and valorization in particular in the agricultural policies, of regional planning and town planning. Moreover, it encourages a step of identification and qualification of the landscapes and underlines the need for developing the sensitizing and the training of the actors concerned.

The chemistry of wine is particularly complex due to biochemical and chemical interactions that significantly modify its organoleptic characteristics and stability over time. Aging on lees is a well-known practice during which various compounds are released, ensuring wines oxidative stability and its overall sensory quality [1,2].

Astringency is one of the leading quality factors in red wines.

The exploitation of food by-products has garnered significant attention over the past few decades, particularly within the framework of the European Green Deal.
