Valutazione dell’equilibrio vegeto-produttivo con metodiche di proximal sensing

Abstract

Nel biennio 2008-2009, nell’ambito di un progetto multidisciplinare coordinato e finanziato dal Consorzio Tuscania, 4 vigneti in differenti zone della Toscana sono stati monitorati con strumenti di proximal sensing al fine di valutare la variabilità riscontrabile e ottenere delle indicazioni sulle risposte vegetative delle piante e quanti-qualitative delle produzioni. La creazione di mappe di NDVI (uno degli indici di vegetazione più comunemente utilizzati) e di spessore delle chiome (CT, derivato dalla lettura dei sensori ad ultrasuoni), ha permesso di evidenziare nette differenze tra i vigneti studiati e all’interno dei singoli appezzamenti, oltre ad una forte influenza temporale sulle caratteristiche delle chiome; tali evidenze sono state confermate da un’analisi della varianza multivariata. I dati rilevati sono stati correlati con alcuni indici comunemente utilizzati per la valutazione vegeto-produttiva delle piante ottenendo delle correlazioni significative, a conferma della validità dei rilievi effettuati e del loro possibile utilizzo come metodo di monitoraggio della situazione esistente in vigneto e di supporto nei processi decisionali

English version: In 2008, collaborating with Tuscania Consortium, Ibimet of Florence and IASMA, a research was started with the aim of understanding and monitoring existing variability in vineyards and, basing on it, evaluating agronomical practices useful for qualitative and quantitative responses optimization. With this purpose, some experimental parcels were chosen in 4 different Sangiovese and Cabernet S. vineyards placed in 3 areas of Tuscany. Parcels were made by the use of different canopy management techniques in various vigour zones. In established periods (fruit setting, veraison and before technological maturity) some instrumental records were made, using ATV mounted optical and ultrasonic sensors; at the same time, indirect measurements of leaf surface and a Point Quadrat were performed. Statistical analysis allowed to validate instrumental relives and to underline the capability of the system of surveying both spatial and temporal variability both an artificial one, made by agronomical practices.

Influence of the agronomic management on the aroma of Riesling wines

Nitrogen fertilisation of grapevines is known to influence not only plant development and production yield, but also yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN). This parameter is related to the growth of yeast

Baccus: from framework to web platform for self-assessment of wine sustainability

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly present challenge, whether due to an increase in the level of perception and demand from consumers and stakeholders or the rise of events linked to climate change, which directly impacts agricultural-based sectors such as the vine and wine industry.

Grape pomace, an active ingredient at the intestinal level: Updated evidence

Grape pomace (GP) is a winemaking by-product particularly rich in (poly)phenols and dietary fiber, which are the main active compounds responsible for its health-promoting effects. GP-derived products have been proposed to manage cardiovascular risk factors, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity. Studies on the potential impact of GP on gut health are much more recent. However, it is suggested that, to some extent, this activity of GP as a cardiometabolic health-promoting ingredient would begin in the gastrointestinal tract as GP components (i.e., (poly)phenols and fiber) undergo extensive catabolism, mainly by the action of the intestinal microbiota, that gives rise to low-molecular-weight bioactive compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Leveraging the grapevine drought response to increase vineyard sustainability

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2024, Silvina Dayer (PhD in Agronomy, Les Sanctuaires du Mirazur-Groupe Mauro Colagreco, Menton, France) speaks about grapevine drought response to increase vineyard sustainability. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on IVES Technical Reviews.

Enological potential of autochtonous grape cultivars from Castilla y León (Spain) to elaborate sparkling wines: polyphenolic and biogenic amines and amino acid composition of base wines

In white wines, Verdejo wine stands out because of its high content in total amino acids. The total content in biogenic amines was low in all wines analyzed and putrescine was the predominant biogenic amine.
