The evolution of italian vine nursery production over the past 30 years

Abstract

Italy has a long history of viticulture and has become one of the world’s leading producers of vine propagation material. The Italian vine nursery industry is today highly qualified and has become highly competitive on a global scale. The quality of the material is guaranteed by compliance with european union regulations, which have been in force since the second half of the 20th century and have subsequently been supplemented and updated.  This study presents and analyses data on propagation materials produced by the italian nursery sector over a period of more than 30 years (1990-2023). The data demonstrate a significant increase in the volume of material produced and reveal some trends in the most widely propagated varieties. Total plant production increased by more than threefold from 1990 to 2023, from approximately 40 million plants to over 141 million. Furthermore, it is possible to identify specific production trends for certain varieties, such as glera (formerly prosecco), which exceeded 18 million plants produced in 2017.

L’évolution de la production de pépinières viticoles italienne au cours des 30 dernières années

L’Italie a une longue histoire de viticulture et est devenue l’un des principaux producteurs mondiaux de matériel de multiplication de la vigne. L’industrie italienne des pépinières viticoles est aujourd’hui hautement qualifiée et est devenue très compétitive à l’échelle mondiale. La qualité des matériels est garantie par le respect de la réglementation de l’union européenne, en vigueur depuis la seconde moitié du 20e siècle et qui a été complétée et mise à jour par la suite. Cette étude présente et analyse les données relatives aux matériels de multiplication produits par le secteur italien des pépinières sur une période de plus de 30 ans (1990-2023). Les données montrent une augmentation significative du volume de matériel produit et révèlent certaines tendances concernant les variétés les plus répandues. La production totale de plantes a plus que triplé entre 1990 et 2023, passant d’environ 40 millions de plantes à plus de 141 millions. En outre, il est possible d’identifier des tendances de production spécifiques pour certaines variétés, telles que la glera (anciennement prosecco), qui a dépassé les 18 millions de plantes produites en 2017.

L’evoluzione della produzione vivaistica viticola italiana negli ultimi 30 anni

L’Italia ha una lunga tradizione vitivinicola ed è diventata uno dei principali produttori mondiali di materiale di propagazione della vite. La filiera vivaistica viticola italiana è oggi altamente qualificata ed è diventata altamente competitiva su scala globale. La qualità del materiale è garantita dal rispetto delle normative dell’unione europea, in vigore dalla seconda metà del xx secolo che sono state successivamente integrate e aggiornate.  Questo studio riporta ed esamina i dati relativi ai materiali di propagazione prodotti dal settore vivaistico italiano in oltre 30 anni (1990-2023). I dati dimostrano un notevole aumento del volume di materiale prodotto e alcune tendenze nelle varietà maggiormente propagate. La produzione totale di piante è più che triplicata dal 1990 al 2023, passando da circa 40 milioni di piante a oltre 141 milioni. Sono osservabili andamenti produttivi specifiche per alcuni vitigni, come glera, che nel 2017 ha superato i 18 milioni di piante prodotte.

Direct SPME GC-MS determination of volatile congeners in wines without sample pre-treatment

In this work “ethanol as an internal standard” method was used for the SPME GC-MS quantification of volatile congeners in wines. Our aim was to develop a fast and simple method of wine analysis without additional procedures, reagents etc. A row of standard solutions containing some frequently found congeners in wine was prepared gravimetrically. Suggested method was compared with traditional internal standard method.

Armenia: historical origin of domesticated grapevine

The Armenian highlands are located on the northern border of western asia and stretch up to the caucasus from the north. Throughout human history, country has played an important role in connecting the civilizations of europe and the near east. The recent large-scale study about the dual domestication origin and evolution of grapes approved that in the Armenian highlands human and grapevine stories are interlaced through centuries and roots of grapevine domestication are found deep in the pleistocene, ending 11.5 thousand years ago. Findings of this study confirmed that glacial episodes distinguish wild grapes into eastern and western ecotypes around 200-400 ka.

With alcohol consumption steadily declining, the growing popularity of dry january, a fiercely competitive environment, high dry matter inflation, economic upheavals, commercial uncertainties… The wine industry must adapt and offer products that meet consumer expectations, without denying their historical singularities.

An analysis of wine geographical indications from the perspective of the theory of industrial organizations: what are the trade off?

From Porto and then through Bordeaux, Champagne and Bourgogne, wine geographical indications (gi) were the driving models for this form of protection of distinctive signs for collective use. Many studies present the benefits of recognizing a gi for a given region, the challenges of its implementation, as well as the possibilities of promoting territorial development.

Training system and its influence on iso-anisohydric behavior of cv. Syrah

Water use efficiency is one of the most valued objectives in vine growing in mediterranean climates (de la fuente et al., 2015). Due to this, the grape growers provide different adaptation strategies according to their efficient consumption against the presumable water deficit generated under these environmental conditions. The use of non-positioned shoot systems (like sprawl, bush, etc.) Can help to achieve this objective.
