Il monitoraggio meteorologico come strumento per la gestione della variabilità climatica in Franciacorta

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel 2007 è stata avviata una ricerca nell’areale di produzione del Franciacorta DOCG che ha riguardato un ampio numero di vigneti di Chardonnay con riferimento ai quali sono stati acquisite le serie storiche dal 2001 relative a (i) decorso delle epoche fenologiche, (ii) curve di maturazione e (iii) dati prodotti dalla rete meteorologica consortile. Tali dati hanno permesso di produrre un modello empirico agrofenologico relativo allo Chardonnay nell’areale considerato e di calibrare e validare un modello meccanicistico di simulazione della produttività primaria, chiamato SIM_PP.

In 2007 a research was started on an high number of vineyards in the Franciacorta AOC area. From 2001 to 2009, phonological stages records and ripening kinetics data were collected. Starting from phenological data, an empiric agrophenological model was build, in order to estimate principal stages by using daily cumulated temperature. Furthermore, ripening kinetics were compared to mechanicistic model simulations (SIM_PP, Mariani and Maugeri, 2002). Starting from air daily temperatures, SIM_PP simulates the Net Primary Production, allocation dynamics in sink organs and the sugars storage in berries, using a mechanism based on transpiration and mass transport flux.
The comparison between real in-field situation and gathered simulations allowed to evaluate mechanicistic and empirical models performance.

High resolution climatic zoning of the Portuguese viticultural regions

Viticulture and winemaking represent a key sector for the Portuguese economy. As grapevines are strongly governed by atmospheric factors, climate change may impose a major threat to this crop. In this study, the current-past (1950-2000) and future (2041-2070) climatic conditions in Portugal are analyzed using a number of bioclimatic indices, including a new categorized index (CatI).

Narrow terraces and alternative training systems for steep sloop viticulture – Douro region

In Douro Region, vineyards are usually planted on hillsides with steep sloops. The models currently used for planting those vineyards are, depending on the initial slope of the hillside, vertical planting or terraces.

Italy sweet revolution: how club grapes are transforming the table grape market

Italy is the leader table grape producer country in Europe and the eighth worldwide (OIV, 2021). The italian production area is sized at approximately 47,248 hectares with a production of 9.66 million quintals of grapes. Apulia and sicily are the main producing italian regions which collectively account for over the 90% of the italian production area (istat, 2022).
