Influenze pedo-ambientali su produzione, qualità e caratteristiche sensoriali dell’Albana di Romagna

Abstract

[English version below]

L’Albana è il vitigno a bacca bianca tradizionale delle colline della Romagna, dove é presente per più di 2.500 ha. Con le sue uve si produce il vino “Albana di Romagna”, una delle più storiche D.O.C.G. italiane essendo stata costituita nel 1987. La maggiore concentrazione di vigneti di Albana si trova nell’Imolese e nelle colline del Ravennate, ma ben conosciuta per la qualità del prodotto é anche la produzione di Bertinoro, nel Forlivese. Nell’ambito di un progetto di zonazione viticola della collina romagnola, il territorio classico dell’Albana é stato sottoposto ad un accurato studio pedologico, climatico, agronomico e viti-enologico. Il complesso dei risultati ha consentito di far emergere alcuni ambienti pedologici in cui l’Albana fornisce vini dalle caratteristiche sensoriali distinguibili.

The Albana is the typical white grapevine variety of the Romagna hills, where it occupies more than 2.500 ha. The Italian DOCG “Albana di Romagna”, created in 1987, is one of the oldest in the country. Highest concentrations of this variety can be found around Imola and the hills of Ravenna although the productions of Bertinoro, in Forlì zone, are well know for their quality. As part of a zoning project of the Romagna hills, the classic territory of the Albana was object of an accurate geo-pedologic, climatic, agronomic and viti-enological assessment. The results have highlighted some environments in which Albana wines display recognisable sensory characteristics.

Current climate change in the Oplenac wine-growing district (Serbia)

Serbian autochthonous vine varieties Smederevka (for white wines) and Prokupac (for rosé and red wines) are the primary representatives of typical characteristics of wines and terroir of numerous wine-growing areas in Serbia. In the past, these varieties were the leading vine varieties, however, as the result of globalization of winemaking and the trend of consumption of wines from widely prevalent vine varieties, they were replaced by introduced international varieties. Smederevka and Prokupac vine varieties are characterized by later time of grape ripening, and relative sensitivity to low temperatures. Climate conditions can be a restrictive factor for production of high-quality grapes and wine and for the spatial spreading of these varieties in hilly continental wine-growing areas.
This paper focuses on the spatial analysis of changes of main climate parameters, in particular, analysis of viticultural bioclimatic indices that were determined for the purposes of viticulture zoning of wine-growing areas in the period 1961-2010, and those same parameters determined for the current, that is, referential climate period (1988-2017). Results of the research, that is, analysis of climate changes indicate that the majority of examined climate parameters in the Oplenac wine-growing district improved from the perspective of Smederevka and Prokupac vine varieties. These studies of climate conditions indicate that changes of analyzed climate parameters, that is, bioclimatic indices will be favorable for cultivation of varieties with later grape ripening times and those more sensitive to low temperatures, such as the autochthonous vine varieties Smederevka and Prokupac, therefore, it is recommended to producers to more actively plant vineyards with these varieties in the territory of the Oplenac wine-growing district.
