Il sistema vigneto del Lago di Bolsena: caratterizzazione della produzione di Cannaiola di Marta

Abstract

[English version below]

Il comprensorio del Lago di Bolsena (VT) è un territorio ad elevata vocazione vitivinicola in cui il paesaggio della vite storicamente persiste e caratterizza la fisionomia dei luoghi. Qui gli agroecosistemi viticoli possiedono una valenza ecologico-ambientale, storico-culturale ed economica di rilievo. La ricerca condotta ha previsto la caratterizzazione della tipologia delle produzioni e degli ambienti di coltivazione di diversi vitigni locali, in particolare il vitigno autoctono Cannaiola di Marta, con l’obiettivo di salvaguardarne il valore biologico, valutarne la qualità in funzione dei microambienti di coltivazione e il ruolo nella definizione della fisionomia del paesaggio. Mediante indagine cartografica è stata condotta un’analisi diacronica a scala territoriale per evidenziare il ruolo dei vigneti nell’uso del suolo e nella definizione dell’ecomosaico ambientale. In vigneti rappresentativi dell’eterogeneità degli ambienti di coltivazione, il vitigno autoctono Cannaiola di Marta è stato caratterizzato con indagine ampelografia rispetto alla varietà certificata Canaiolo nero. La qualità della produzione è stata rapportata alla tipologia di suolo e alla variabilità fisiografica. Uno studio dell’architettura dei vigneti ha completato l’analisi dei modelli viticoli. I risultati ottenuti hanno evidenziato l’unicità della produzione della Cannaiola di Marta e la particolarità degli ambienti di coltivazione per una qualità superiore. E’ emerso il carattere di vulnerabilità di questa produzione dovuta alla frammentarietà dei vigneti, a fronte di un elevato valore storico-culturale degli impianti. Il sistema vigneto della Cannaiola di Marta si inserisce armonicamente in un ecosistema prezioso per la salvaguardia delle risorse ambientali e paesaggistiche di un territorio fra i più suggestivi del Lazio.

The northern part of the Lazio region, i.e. the area around the Lake of Bolsena, is highly vacated to grapevine production. Since the past, rural landscape has been characterized by vineyards, that represent still today a distinctive trait of this territory. Here vineyards exhibit economical, but also ecological, historical, biological and social functions. Nonetheless, vineyard surface is decreasing dramatically, with evident loss in biodiversity and landscape diversity. The study was carried out in order to characterized through a systemic approach the production of the local variety Cannaiola di Marta and its territorial contest. In order to preserve this production and the related landscape, the germplasm unicity was evaluated, the grape quality was tested in the highly differing physical environments, and the physionomy of the vineyards, as well as that of the rural landscape, was measured through cartographic elaboration. The research has proved that the investigated area is suitable for high quality and unique productions. It is also possible to attribute to these vulnerable vineyards a cultural significance, based on the employment of historic germplasm, on traditional vineyard traits and cultural practices. The viticulture of this territory is included in a equilibrated ecosystem, in which vineyards might preserve the environmental resources of one of the most agreeable territory of the Lazio region.

Phenological characterization of a wide range of Vitis Vinifera varieties

In order to study the impact of climate change on Bordeaux grape varieties and to assess the adaptation capacities of candidates to the grape varieties of this wine region to the new climatic conditions, an experimental block design composed of 52 grape varieties was set up in 2009 at the INRAE Bordeaux Aquitaine center. Among the many parameters studied, the three main phenological stages of the vine (budburst, flowering and veraison) have been closely monitored since 2012. Observations for each year, stage and variety were carried out on four independent replicates. Precocity indices have been calculated from the data obtained over the 2012-2021 period (Barbeau et al. 1998). This work allowed to group the phenological behaviour of the grapevine varieties, not only based on the timing of the subsequent developmental stages, but also on the overall precocity of the cycle and the total length of the cycle between budburst and veraison. Results regarding the variability observed among the different grape varieties for these phenological stages are presented as heat maps.

Effect of foliar application of Ca, Si and their combination on grape volatile composition

Calcium (Ca) is an important nutrient for plants which plays key signaling and structural roles. It has been observed that exogenous Ca application favors the pectin accumulation and inhibition of polygalacturonase enzymes, minimizing fruit spoilage. Silicon (Si) is a non-essential element which has been found to be beneficial for improving crop yield and quality, as well as plant tolerance to diverse abiotic and biotic stress factors. The effect of Si supply to grapevine has been assessed in few investigations, which reported positive changes in grape quality and must composition.

The social construction of wine-growing areas: the “Graves de Bordeaux”

«Graves de Bordeaux» est une des rares appellations à porter le nom d’un terroir, au sens agronomique du terme. Et ce territoire vitivinicole présente une relative unité géographique, de Langon à Bordeaux sur la rive gauche de la Garonne.
