Le aree viticole storiche nel mondo: i loro vitigni, la loro protezione e la tipicità dei vini in esse ottenuti

Context and purpose of the study. Nitrogen (N) limitation enhances the production of phenolic compounds in grapes due to the downregulation of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway.

Context and purpose of the study. Epidermal Patterning Factors are a family of small peptides that are highly conserved in the plant kingdom and are involved in several physiological and developmental processes.

Grapevine powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator and Botrytis bunch rot caused by Botrytis cinerea are two of the most important fungal diseases in California grape production.

The characterization of « the soil effect » in vine growing is often limited to the description of the physical components of the terroir. Many works were done in this direction and corresponded to geological, pedological or agronomical approaches. However, if the physical environment influences the vine and its grapes, its effect becomes limited at the scale of exploitation. Thus, it could be important to consider how the viticulturist « translated » the potential.

The region of viticultural production near Pinto Bandeira, Brazil, is being studied to define typical characteristics of wines locally produced.
