Vulnerability of vineyard soils to compaction: the case study of DOC Piave (Veneto region, Italy)

Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the vulnerability of vineyard soil to compaction.
The process of soil compaction represents one of the eight threats to soil identified by European Commission.
It is important to know which soil is susceptible to compaction in order to be able to apply proper soil use and cultivation and to prevent real compaction. From this point of view, the evaluation of soil susceptibility to compaction on European level was done.
The DOC Piave area has been chosen for this study because it is one the most important of the north Italy and involves a great variety of soils.
The model used considers as significant factors drainage, surface organic carbon content and texture. It results that soils with low organic carbon content, medium fine or fine and moderately well drained to very poorly drained have high vulnerability to compaction.
A large part of the vineyard soil of the DOC Piave area has at least moderate vulnerability to compaction.

The colour pattern of flower arrangements influence wine tasters’ sensory description

The arrangements of flowers and wine counterparts are inextricably linked. Whether a fundamental aspect of tablescaping or acolytes to broader entertainment rituals, they have an entangled history since ancient times. The aim of this contribution is to verify the influence of visually delicate and robust flower arrangements on individual description of wines. Changes in the sensory description of wines were investigated during subjects’ (thirty-two participants) exposure to three different conditions: the presence of delicate, robust, or totally absent flower arrangements. In each condition, the same two wines were blind tasted: a wine previously defined as delicate – a Pinot Noir from Australia, and a wine known for its robust character – a Tannat from Uruguay.

THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TERROIRS ON AROMA COMPOUNDS OF ‘KALECIK KARASI’ WINES

Kalecik Karası is a domestic grape variety of Turkey, originating from Kalecik district, 80 km from Ankara. Although there is no definite evidence, it is known that it was used in wine production by many civilizations that lived in the Anatolian region, especially the Hittites. Compared to other black wine grapes, it stands out with its low tannin content, rich fruity aroma and complex structure. In good vintages, red fruits such as strawberries, cherries and raspberries stand out in the aroma profile. Although its structure is elegant, it has the potential to age and develop similar to the ‘Pinot Noir’ wine of the Burgundy region. This offers a complex aroma structure including red flowers, earth and ripe fruits.

Il ruolo dei comuni nella gestione del territorio e nella tutela dei vitigni autoctoni di qualita’

Questo simposio organizzato dall ‘Associazione nazionale Città del Vino, che mi onoro di presiedere, è per me motivo di particolare soddisfazione perché porta a compimento parte di un percorso iniziato dall’associazione da alcuni anni e che ha un obiettivo apparentemente semplice: sollecitare gli amministratori delle Città del Vino a perseguire con tenacia, tal­volta anche con la necessaria caparbietà, programmi ed interventi che abbiano al centro, sempre, la qualità della vita dei loro territori.

Frost variability in the Champagne vineyard: probability calendar

Dans le vignoble champenois, le risque thermique associé au gel des bourgeons au printemps et en hiver est très mal connu et ne peut être envisagé qu’à l’échelle locale, en raison d’une variabilité spatiale forte. L’objectif de l’étude est d’appréhender ce risque de façon fiable et pluri locale en utilisant le réseau de stations météos récemment implanté.
