Learning from remote sensing data: a case study in the Trentino region 

Abstract

Recent developments in satellite technology have yielded a substantial volume of data, providing a foundation for various machine learning approaches. These applications, utilizing extensive datasets, offer valuable insights into Earth’s conditions. Examples include climate change analysis, risk and damage assessment, water quality evaluation, and crop monitoring. Our study focuses on exploiting satellite thermal and multispectral imaging, and vegetation indexes, such as NDVI, in conjunction with ground truth information about soil type, land usage (forest, urban, crop cultivation), and irrigation water sources in the Trentino region in North-East of Italy. Trentino, characterized by diverse landscapes ranging from forests to crop fields, is notable for its grapevine cultivation, a significant contributor to the Italian wine industry. Our research aims to analyze the past two decades of satellite data (NASA and Copernicus) using supervised and unsupervised learning methods. The objective is to develop models for soil classification, assessing crop health and growth stage (phenology), and optimizing water management practices, specifically in the context of tree crops (mainly vineyards and apple orchards) in this region. This analytical approach seeks to contribute to a more systematic understanding of the environmental and agricultural dynamics in Trentino, facilitating informed and sustainable land management practices.

Red wine astringency: evolution of tribological parameters during different harvest dates

Astringency is a specific oral sensation dominated by dryness and puckering feeling and is one of the leading quality factors for red wines, as well as some fruit products

Mannoproteins from oenological by-products as tartaric stabilization and color agents in white and red wines

Climate change is drastically modifying grape composition and wine quality. As consequence, must and wines are becoming unbalanced, with high sugar concentration, increased alcohol content, lower acidity, excessive astringency, color instability and also a rise in the incidence of tartaric instability is being showed.

Aspetti legislativi di settore: e politiche comunitarie

Sulla base del tema assegnatomi è stata forte la tentazione di addentrarmi nel labirinto della regolamentazione comunitaria. Per buona pace degli intervenuti ho ritenuto, pero, poco utile una elencazione di numeri e riferimenti normativi che saranno brevemente riassunti in una tabella (TAB 1),

Does Dekkera/Brettanomyces wine spoilage raise the risk of biogenic amines intake? A screening in Portuguese red wines

Wine quality and safety are the main concerns of consumers and health agencies. Biogenic amines and polyamines, depending on their concentration and on individuals, in wine can constitute a potential public health concern due to their physiological and toxicological effects

Flavor Enhancement Of Neutral White Wines By Mango Peel Products

Varietal flavor is commonly known as the aromatic character of a wine in which the aroma of a particular grape variety predominates. However, not all varieties present particularly pronounced aromas. Therefore, different methods are constantly sought to enhance the aroma of wines with neutral aromatic characteristics, such as the use of glycosidases (1), certain yeast strains (2) or maceration with different agricultural products. In this work, aiming to improve the sensory profile together with the diversification of this product, white wines, derived from a neutral grape variety, were elaborated with the addition of mango peel by-products.
