Vine response to compost addition on a sandy-loam soil in the north-east of italy. Effects on root system, vegetative growth, yield and grape quality of Cabernet-Sauvignon cv

The availability of water in the soil and the water status of the vineyard are proving to be determining factors for crop management in the current context of climatic variation

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Hans Reiner Schultz (Hochschule Geisenheim University, Germany) speaks about soil carbon changes and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards – is the 4 per 1000 goal realistic?. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Climate change is increasing crop evapotranspiration and reducing water availability, especially in the Mediterranean area.

Primary and secondary metabolites are major components of grape composition and their balances define wine typicality

Kalecik Karası is a domestic grape variety of Turkey, originating from Kalecik district, 80 km from Ankara. Although there is no definite evidence, it is known that it was used in wine production by many civilizations that lived in the Anatolian region, especially the Hittites. Compared to other black wine grapes, it stands out with its low tannin content, rich fruity aroma and complex structure. In good vintages, red fruits such as strawberries, cherries and raspberries stand out in the aroma profile. Although its structure is elegant, it has the potential to age and develop similar to the ‘Pinot Noir’ wine of the Burgundy region. This offers a complex aroma structure including red flowers, earth and ripe fruits.
