Use of hyperspectral data for assessing vineyard biophysical and quality parameters in northern Italy

Abstract

A total of 39 study sites from 11 commercial vineyards located in two traditional growing areas of Northern Italy were identified for airborne hyperspectral acquisition in summer 2009 with the Aisa-EAGLE Airborne Hyperspectral Imaging Sensor. Field sampling campaigns were conducted during the airborne overflights and around harvest, collecting canopy structural parameters, leaf and canopy biophysical characteristics as well as spectral signatures and must quality traits. Several vegetation indices were calculated from each plot to relate variations in canopy structure and foliar pigment concentration to vine status and grape quality parameters. The up-scaling model through TCARI/OSAVI index allowed to yield acceptable estimates of leaf chlorophyll content. However model refinements are needed to improve its capacity to taking into account understory grass cover at the highest instrument resolution.

“Q & A” of the european commission for labeling and desalcoholization for wines: european wine “soft-law”?

Recently, the European Commission seems to have inaugurated a new mechanism for regulating the wine sector. Through two communications, articulated in the form of “Questions & Answers”, concerning the new rules for labeling (24.11.2023) and dealcoholization of wine (15.01.2024), the Commission is not simply “explaining” the new rules but, in an approach close to the theory of “Circulaire Normative” established in comparative law, chooses among different interpretations and even adds Praeter Legem constraints.
