Zonage viticole des surfaces potentielles dans la vallée Centrale de Tarija (Bolivie)

Abstract

[English version below]

La présente étude de zonage viticole a été faite dans la région de la vallée Central de Tarija(VCT), dans la ville de Tarija, au Sud de la Bolivie; une région avec plus de 400 années de tradition qui présente une vitiviniculture de haute qualité. La Vallée possède une surface total de 332 milles ha.; existant des vignobles entre 1660 y 2300 m.s.n.m. et dans ce rang d’altitude il existe 91 mille ha. avec un haut potentiel pour la culture de la vigne. Pour la détermination des surfaces homogènes de la région ont été considérés les aspects d’environnement avec l’aide d’images satellitaires, des cartes topographiques, des données climatologiques et des cartes géologiques ; pour déterminer les caractéristiques de la région pour la culture de la vigne. Au niveau climatique furent appliqués les indices du Système CCM Géo viticole développés par Tonietto & Carbonneau (2004), lesquelles considèrent des éléments thermiques (Indice Héliothermique), hydriques (Indice de sécheresse) et nictothermiques (Indice de Froid nocturne); nous avons identifié 8 types des climats différents dans toute la région. Dans les particularités du sol furent déterminés la morphologie et il a été géo référencié tous ses caractéristiques (analyses chimique et physique). S’ai fait une classification spécifique des critères de culture de la vigne pour déterminer l’aptitude du sol, en même temps ont été identifié les surfaces avec des limitants pour le conduit des vignobles. L’étude a pour objectif d’identifié les zones potentielles pour la culture de la vigne et de cette façon orienté son élargissement avec le support des politiques d’état et pertinente assistance technique au producteurs de cette région.

This study of vitivinicultural zonation was carried out in the region of the Central Valley of Tarija (VCT), in the Department of Tarija, southern Bolivia, a region with more than 400 years wine tradition which actually presents a high quality. The valley has an area of total 332 thousand ha.; vineyards exist between 1660 and 2300 m.a.s.l. and in this altitude range there are 91 thousand hectares with a high potential for growing grapes. In the determination of homogeneous areas of the region, we considered the environmental aspects through satellite images, topographic maps, weather data and geology maps; thus the characteristics of the region for growing grapes were defined. Considering climate, we applied the Geoviticulture Multicriteria Climatic Classification System developed by Tonietto and Carbonneau (2004) which considers a heliothermal index (HI), dryness index (DI)) and a cold night index (CI), in this way there were 8 different types of climates identified throughout the region. For the characteristics of soil we determinated its morphology and did chemical and physical analysis, all dates were georeferenced. We realized a classification including the specific requirements and limits of grape plants to determine the aptitude of the soil. This study aims to identify areas with high potential for growing grapes and thus directing the growth of the sector, with support of state policies and suitable technical assistance to growers in the valley.

Differences in metabolism among species and hybrids of the genus Saccharomyces during wine fermentation unveiled by multi-omic analysis 

Yeast species S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum, S. kudriavzevii and their hybrids present clear metabolic differences, even when we compared S. cerevisiae wine versus wild strain. These species and hybrids produced significantly higher amounts of glycerol, organic acids, 2,3-butanediol, and 2-phenyl ethanol and a reduction of the ethanol yield, properties very interesting in the sector to deal with climate change effects. To understand the existing differences, we have used several omics techniques to analyze the dynamics of the (intra- and extracellular) metabolomes and/or transcriptomes of representative strains of S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum, S. kudriavzevii, and hybrids.

Identification of cis-2-methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane as a new volatile sulfur compound (VSC) in wine

Despite their trace concentrations, volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are an important category of flavour-active compounds that significantly contribute to desirable or undesirable aromas of many foods and beverages. In wines, VSCs in the form of polyfunctional thiols, notably 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH), 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3-SHA), and 4-sulfanyl-4-methyl-pentan-2-one (4-MSP), possess extremely low olfactory thresholds (≈ ng/L) and pleasant “tropical aroma” notes. They have received much attention with respect to their sensory contributions, quantitative occurrences, biogenesis, and thiol management through viticulture and winemaking. However, the fate of these potent volatiles are still not fully understood.

Topographic modeling with GIS at Serra Gaúcha, Brazil: elements to study viticultural terroir

Brazil is historically known at the international wine market as an importer, eventhough in the last decades there was an increase in quantity and quality of the internal production. Nowadays, about 40% of fine wines comsuption of the country are national ones. The main production region is called Serra Gaúcha, where the natural conditions are heterogeneous and viticulture is develloped in small properties, mainly done by the owners family.

Grape overripening as an innovation strategy in response to climate change

Today’s viticulture is facing a new climatic scenario with temperature increases and rainfall deficits, generated by the effect of climate change. As a result of these new conditions, there are earlier harvests, increased plant water stress and higher disease risk in wetter wine-growing regions.
