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.

Étude de la cinétique de transfert du 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) entre des bouchons en liège naturel et le vin – premiers résultats

The last step in winemaking is packaging the wines for market placement, while preserving the quality attained during vinification. Since the 1980s, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) has been recognised as an incidental and random contaminant of cork, with its migration into wine thought to contribute to ‘cork taint’. This molecule is not a cork component and little is known about how it is formed on trees. Its formation from the chlorine used to wash the cork stoppers, long suspected, has been excluded by the abandonment of chlorine washing.

Wine consumption in Ukraine: trends, socio-economic aspects, and public perception

This article explores the contemporary culture of wine consumption in Ukraine through the lens of social, economic, and cultural transformations triggered by European integration, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the full-scale war since 2022.

Ozone to improve the implantation of Lachancea thermotolerans for improving pH in warm areas in wines with low SO2 levels

Una de las biotecnologías más potentes para disminuir el pH en vinos de zonas cálidas y en variedades de pH elevado es el uso de la levadura no-saccharomyces lachancea thermotolerans. Esta especie es capaz de formar ácido láctico a partir de azúcares, reduciendo al mismo tiempo ligeramente el grado alcohólico. Por lo tanto, mejora dos de los principales problemas de los vinos de regiones afectadas por el calentamiento global. El ácido láctico es un ácido orgánico con una buena integración sensorial en el sabor del vino, y también química y biológicamente estable durante el envejecimiento del vino.

Metabolic response of vitis vinifera and interspecific vitis sp. varieties to heat stress, water deficit and combined stress, using a metabolomic approach

As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, climate projections indicate an increased likelihood of heat waves and drier conditions in canada. these changes pose significant challenges to grapevine cultivation, particularly during critical growth stages such as new plantings. interspecific hybrid grape varieties, developed through different breeding programs that combine vitis vinifera with more robust species like v. riparia and v. labrusca varieties, are often touted for their potential resilience to environmental stress.

Viti-Tunnel, an automatically removable protection against diseases, frost and hail, a way to drastically reduce the use of pesticides

Viti-tunnel®, une innovation imaginée pour répondre à deux des objectifs majeurs des viticulteurs : 1.la sécurisation de la vendange : viti-tunnel® permet de protéger les vignobles des pertes de récolte dues aux maladies, au gel et à la grêle. 2.la réduction des pesticides : viti-tunnel® permet de réduire de plus de 90 %, le recours aux produits phytosanitaires et aux passages de pulvérisateurs, et ce, en toute sécurité pour la vendange. Un dispositif automatisé pour protéger les vignes viti-tunnel® est un dispositif de mise à l’abri automatique des rangs de vigne pendant les pluies et les évènements climatiques extrêmes.
