La viticoltura veneta in un contesto di città e industria diffusa: per una lettura integrale del paesaggio della collina pedemontana veronese orientale

Abstract

[English version below]

Il Veneto, come è noto, rappresenta una delle estensioni di superfici a vigneto più importanti in Italia e nell’Europa stessa. Il paesaggio viticolo fino ad oggi è stato ampiamente letto nelle sue componenti, sia strettamente agricole che culturali. Lo si interpreta e propone anche nelle sue nuove geometrie. Convive, però, con un esasperato uso del suolo dovuto ad altre destinazioni che si constatano e che si possono ulteriormente immaginare, viste le incalzanti e numerose decisioni che a livello politico gli enti territoriali hanno messo in atto per un’ulteriore avanzata immobiliare ed edificatoria in senso lato. Si desidera qui proporre la riflessione in un’ottica integrale per giungere a delineare una modalità con la quale porsi – oggi – di fronte ad una lettura “corretta” del Paesaggio Viticolo, non edulcorata ma che – proprio anche contestualizzandolo – ne accentui le valenze armoniche e proporzionate ad un aspetto anche umanistico di cui esso si può fare carico nella sua fruizione.
L’illustrazione e interpretazione verrà applicata ad un territorio limitato – la collina orientale del veronese e la pianura immediatamente pedemontana che si può prendere a campione dei fenomeni sopra evidenziati.

The Veneto, as is well known, has one of the largest areas under vine in Italy, and indeed in Europe. The viticultural landscape within this Region has up until now been widely studied from the point of view of its various elements – both strictly agricultural and cultural – and its new patterns are now being interpreted and explained as well. It cohabits, however, with an exaggerated use of the land for other purposes which can already be seen or whose future scenarios can easily be imagined, given the numerous (and relentless) political decisions local government bodies have put into effect that encourage further real-estate and building developments in a general sense.
We aim here to offer an all-embracing reflection that can help to delineate a means for attempting – in today’s conditions – a “valid” interpretation of the viticultural landscape: one that is not pretified but which – precisely because it is seen in the correct context – accentuates its harmonious elements and those that are in line with the human-related aspects which will probably be part and parcel of its use.
Our illustrations and interpretations will be applied to a limited territory – the hills in the eastern part of the province of Verona and the plains lying immediately below them – which provides a good example of the phenomena highlighted above.

A NEW TOOL TO QUANTIFY COMPOUNDS POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN THE FRUITY AROMA OF RED WINES. DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION TO THE STU-DY OF THE FRUITY CHARACTER OF RED WINES MADE FROM VARIOUS GRAPE VARIETIES

A wide range of olfactory descriptors ranging from fresh and jammy fruit notes to cooked and oxidized fruit notes could describe the fruity aroma of red wines [1]. The fruity character of a wine is mainly related to the grape variety selected, to the terroir and the vinification process applied for its conception. In white wines, some volatile compounds confer directly their aroma to the wine while the question of “key” compound is more complex in red wines. According to many studies performed over the past decades, some fruity ethyl esters are directly involved in the fruity perception of red wines while others, present at subthreshold concentrations, participate indirectly to the fruity expression via perceptive interactions [2].

Validation of a method for the determination of volatile compounds in in spirituous beverages using contained ethanol as a reference substance

The results of experimental studies of the method based on the usage of ethyl alcohol as an internal standard for the direct determination of volatile compounds in wines and others alcohol contained products are presented. The method was validated in terms of precision, accuracy, limits of detection and quantification (lod and loq), linearity, and robustness.
