Importanza del monitoraggio micro-meteorologico nella caratterizzazione del terroir

Abstract

[English version below]

Le variabili meteorologiche e micro-meteorologiche ricoprono un importante ruolo sulla risposta vegeto-produttiva della vite e di conseguenza sulla qualità delle produzioni. Utilizzando una rete wireless di sensori sono stati monitorati i parametri meteorologici e micro-meteorologici di 4 vigneti del territorio toscano e in differenti condizioni di gestione agronomica. La comparazione di Land Indicators (indici calcolati a partire dal dato meteo territoriale proveniente da una stazione meteo tradizionale situata al di fuori del vigneto) e Proximity Indicator (indici calcolati dal dato meteo prossimale rilevato all’interno del vigneto) fa emergere come le due scale di indagine offrano una caratterizzazione del terroir significativamente diversa, in particolare per quanto concerne il ciclo giornaliero della temperatura del grappolo. Lo studio dell’impatto delle diverse pratiche di gestione della chioma sul micro-clima, ha evidenziato differenze tra le tesi defogliate e non, soprattutto nei valori di temperature massime e radiazione misurate a livello del grappolo. Questo studio evidenzia come il monitoraggio micro-meteorologico sia uno strumento efficace per ottenere delle sotto-zonazioni dei vigneti soprattutto in territori caratterizzati da morfologia eterogenea e quindi da grande variabilità spaziale dei parametri ambientali.

The micro-meteorological and meteorological variables play an important role on the vegetative-productive response of the grapevine and consequently on quality products. Using a wireless sensor network, meteorological and micro-meteorological parameters of four Tuscany vineyards have been monitored and in different conditions of agronomic management. The comparison of Land Indicators (territorial data from a traditional weather station located outside the vineyard) and Proximity Indicators (proximal data monitored inside the vineyard) highlighted large differences especially with regard to the diurnal course of bunch temperature. The impact of different management practices on canopy microclimate pointed out significative differences between defoliated and non-thesis, especially in maximum temperature and solar radiation at bunch level. Present study emphasize the role of micro-meteorological monitoring in providing a reliable picture of vineyard sub-zones that can be useful in those areas characterized by an heterogeneous morphology and hence by a large spatial variability of environmental parameters.

Consumers’ emotional responses elicited by wines according to organoleptic quality

Wine is often described with emotional terms, such as surprising, disappointing or pleasant. However, very little has been done to really characterize this link between emotions and wine. Can it really bring emotions to wine tasters? Many studies have looked at the extrinsic factors that can improve the emotional

Gevrey-Chambertin : les enjeux d’un territoire vitivinicole locale à l’échelle mondiale

An emblematic name of the burgundy wine region, a few kilometers from dijon, gevrey-chambertin stands out as a small wine town of international renown in the heart of a prestigious red wine vineyard listed as a unesco world heritage site.

Effets des pratiques agro-viticoles sur l’activité biologique et la matière organique des sols : exemples en Champagne et en Bourgogne

The notion of terroir covers multiple components, from geology, pedology, geomorphology and climatology (Doledec, 1995), to aspects that are less well identified but which also intervene in the “typicality” of wines. This justifies the “zoning” approach (Moncomble and Panigaï, 1990) to define homogeneous areas, under the same agro-viticultural management and also identified at the product level (Morlat and Asselin, 1992).

Geological history and landscape of the Coastal wine-growing region, South Africa

The geology of the Western Cape testifies to the former existence of a late Precambrian supercontinent, its fragmentation, the closure of an ocean between the South African and South American continental precursors (Kalahari and Rio de la Plata cratons), the accumulation of marine sediments and limestones, and their compression during a collision between these cratons

Natural variability and vine-growers behaviour

Le vigneron est confronté à une variabilité naturelle omniprésente, liée au millésime et aux facteurs pédoclimatiques. Depuis 10 ans, en Champagne, la relation qu’entretient le vigneron avec l’espace a évolué. Les exemples d’entreprises collectives à vocation territoriale se sont multipliés : gestion de l’hydraulique viticole, maillages de groupements de conseil viticole (Magister), sites en confusion sexuelle, réseau maturation, analyses de sols par secteur, …
