Phenological stage dependency of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache response to water and nutrient limitation 

Abstract

As the frequency and intensity of drought events increase, understanding the mechanisms of plant resilience to water deficit is crucial. To maintain an appropriate plant yield, a common practice is the application of high amounts of fertilizers with negative environmental impacts. The single and combined effect of water deficit and nutrient availability, namely nitrogen (N) and potassium (K), in Vitis Vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache was evaluated. Two-year-old grapevine plants grafted on SO4 rootstock were transferred in pots under semi-environmental conditions. During the growing season, plants were either maintained well-watered (100% ETc) or subjected to a controlled water deficit irrigation (33% ETc). Moreover, different N and K fertilization doses were applied: 100%N+100%K; 100%N+30%K; 30%N+100%K; and 30%N+30%K. Several morpho-physiological parameters were periodically evaluated, including plant growth rate, midday stem water potential, and gas exchange parameters. In addition, multi‑elemental analysis was conducted by collecting leaves at flowering, veraison, and maturity stage.

Early-season results showed significant effect of irrigation on stomatal conductance and transpiration rate, especially in Grenache. Multi-elemental data at flowering stage showed that plants mainly separated in response to irrigation treatment. Conversely, the physiological response and the nutrient composition at the maturity stage was strongly influenced by N fertilization.

The obtained results will improve the comprehension of the mechanisms involved in the signaling network of the interplay among water and nutrient acquisition.

Application of cyclic voltammetry to the classification of enological tannins in relationship to oxygen consumption rate and botanical origin 

Enological tannins are a diversified group of winemaking products that vary in several aspects such as chemical composition, botanical origin, and production method. In consideration of their richness in phenolic compounds, one of their main application in vinification is related to their antioxidant capacity, in particular their ability to consume oxygen during red wine maturation.

Building of a hierarchy of wines based on terroirs: an initiative from the producers of Muscadet

The Muscadet area is situated in the southeast of Nantes, close to the Atlantic coast. It constitutes the western extension

Analisi delle modalita’ d’interazione tra conoscenza dl un territorio e gestione dei suoi aspetti enoturistici relativamente ad una regione (Toscana)

Il Turismo negli anni 2000 si appresta ad essere la più vasta ed estesa impresa presente nel mondo. Se a cio si aggiunge il fatto che il tempo libero risulta essere, per la maggior parte delle persone, la principale aspirazione da considerare ben oltre il proprio benessere eco­nomico, ci si rende conto del perché di una crescente domanda di ecoturismo. Un viaggiare sempre più accorto aile valenze ambientali e tipiche di un territorio.
