Il Lambrusco reggiano e il territorio di pianura: un modello efficace

Abstract

[English version below]

Il caso “Lambrusco” è emblematico di un buon connubio tra un gruppo di vitigni ed un territorio di pianura caratterizzato da suoli fertili e alluvionali, che determinano un elevato sviluppo vegetativo e produttivo delle piante e peculiari risposte qualitative.
In queste particolari condizioni pedoclimatiche, si producono diversi vini “Lambrusco”, a partire dagli omonimi vitigni di origine, legati tra loro dalle comuni origini selvatiche e dal buon grado di parentela, come dimostrato dalle recenti analisi genetiche.
Il vino Lambrusco del territorio di Reggio Emilia, prodotto in varie tipologie, è ottenuto da uvaggi di diversi lambruschi, ed è tipicamente frizzante, caratterizzato da una elevata componente acidica e da profumi freschi e giovani.
La viticoltura reggiana, grazie alla notevole abbondanza sul territorio di antiche varietà, è una viticoltura basata esclusivamente sulla coltivazione di vitigni autoctoni.
Le strutture produttive e di tutela presenti sul territorio, nonché le scelte colturali effettuate, hanno giocato un ruolo importante nel garantire solidità alla produzione e rispondere alle esigenze di mercato, per cui il Lambrusco rappresenta oggi, come già da molti anni, uno dei vini varietali italiani più esportati nel mondo e più importanti del panorama italiano.

“Lambrusco” is a typical example of good relationship between a group of grape cultivars and the territory where they are grown: alluvial plain characterized by fertile soils, stimulating high vigour and yield and characteristic qualitative traits.
In these peculiar soil and climate conditions, well characterized “Lambrusco” wines are produced from homonymous grape cultivars, that are interlinked by common wild origin and high parentage degree, as revealed by recent genetic analysis.
The Lambrusco of Reggio Emilia, obtained from different Lambrusco cultivars, is a typically sparkling red wine, with high acidity and fresh and young fragrances, produced in different types and designations.
Viticulture in Reggio Emilia province is exclusively based on autochthonous cultivars, due to the presence of many ancient grape varieties.
Productive and protection structures in this territory, together with cultivation choices, played and important role in ensuring soundness on production and reliable answers to market needs. As a consequence currently and since many years Lambrusco is one of the most important Italian varietal wines and one of the most exported worldwide.

OmicBots – An innovative and intelligent multi-omics platform facing wine sector challenges

To face emerging competition and challenges, wine producers globally rely on precision viticulture (PV) solutions to boost productivity, enhance quality, increase profitability, and reduce the environmental impact of vineyards. Current pv methods predominantly use multispectral sensor data from several platforms (satellites or vineyard installations). However, these applications generally use data analysis strategies lacking physiological grapevine support.

Bio-acidification of wines by Lachancea thermotolerans

Insufficient acidity in grapes from warm climates/vintages is commonly corrected through addition of tartaric acid during vinification, and less so with other organic acids. An alternative approach involves bio-acidification with the yeast Lachancea thermotolerans (LT) via lactic acid production during fermentation.

Study on the impact of clone on the varietal aroma of Xinomavro

It is well documented that varietal aroma is an important parameter of wine quality. Chemical compounds responsible for wine varietal aroma are sourced from secondary grape metabolites. Until today little research is conducted on the influence of vine clone on the grape aromatic content of Greek grape varieties. Xinomavro (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important Greek grape varieties, valuable for the wine industry of Northern Greece since it contributes to the production of PDO wine of Naoussa, Amindeo and Goumenissa.

Mapping intra-plot topsoil diversity of Burgundy vineyards (Aloxe-Corton, France) from very high spatial resolution (VHSR) images

In this work, we present a method based on very high spatial resolution (VHSR) aerial images acquired in the visible domain and that map soil surface diversity at the hillslope

Effect of spray with autochthonous Trichoderma strains and its secondary metabolites on the quality of Tempranillo grape

Trichoderma is one of the most widely used fungal biocontrol agents on vineyards due to its multiple benefits on this crop, such as its fungicidal and growth promoting capacity. In this work, we have analyzed the effect on the concentration of nutrients in grapevine leaves and on the quality of the grape must after spraying an autochthonous strain of Trichoderma harzianum and one of the main secondary metabolites produced by this genus, 6-pentyl-α-pyrone (6PP).
