Influenza dei fattori dell’ambiente sulla risposta della pianta, e caratteristiche dell’uva della cv tannat prodotta in vigneti di tre zone climatiche dell’Uruguay

Climate change has varied effects across French vineyards, with marked regional differences in temperature shifts. Fine-scale studies highlight significant local climate variability, emphasizing the need for precise regional characterization to adapt vineyard management at the regional scale.

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Simone Vincenzi (Department of agronomy, food, natural resources, animals and environment (DAFNAE), University of Padova, Italy) speaks about the prevention of quercetin precipitation in red wines with a promising enzymatic solution. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Global warming is accelerating the technological ripening of the grape, with a loss of acidity, which requires that vineyard management can delay ripening to avoid it. The source-sink relation is essential for grape ripening, since it affects the distribution of photosynthates and substances derived from plant metabolism. A work is proposed to know the response of the vineyard to the drastic reduction of the foliar surface by trim down the shoots in cv.

The relationship between grape production and leaf surface is a highly debated aspect in terms of the impact it may have on the composition and quality of grapes, especially in areas that focus their cultivation on high-quality wine. In many occasions, the limitation of the unitary production level in these areas is claimed to be the main factor for achieving high quality levels in the wine, forgetting the importance of the source-sink relationship and other environmental factors and management of the canopy. Taking this consideration into account, this work seeks to know the response of the vine as a whole, and the individual shoot as well, to the application of various alternatives of leaves and clusters removal, carried out in the phase immediately before veraison, in cv. Verdejo, in Spain.

Plastic film covering is a technique largely used in viticulture to protect table grapes vines from adverse weather conditions and to reduce the negative effects of grapevine fungi disease. Plastic film composition affects solar radiation income inside the covering with effects on sunlight wavelengths in relation to different absorbance and reflectance. The interaction of selected light ranges with vines could influence grape ripening and yield and consequently influence shelf life.
