Vineyard management for environment valorisation

Aim: To investigate the interaction effects between irrigation and crop load and the resulting impact on grape heterogeneity within a Geographical Indication in South Australia.  Methods and Results: Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sampled at the time of harvest from the Coonawarra

During cold storage, grapes undergo changes that affect their visual, mechanical, and organoleptic properties, potentially impacting quality and negatively influencing consumer acceptance. Key parameters include uniform color, crunchiness, and flesh consistency. We evaluated the influence of two distinct packaging methods on the chromatic characteristics, hardness, and pedicel detachment resistance of fourteen new seedless white and red grape varieties during cold storage. These factors are crucial for maintaining the quality of the product and extending its shelf-life. The novel grape varieties were obtained through a breeding program at CREA-VE of Turi, Southern Italy.

A fair and sustainable society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy cannot be achieved without a workforce to support it.

The pinking is a phenomenon that can occur in white wine produced with white grape causing the color change from yellow to red-salmon hue. Even if its appearance is highly variable and dependent to the vintage, the wines from certain grape varieties, such as Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Trebbiano di Lugana, have been identified to be more susceptible to the pinking.

Le système des appellations d’origine aux Etats-Unis était adopté en 1978 et est entré en vigueur en 1983. Jusqu’à présent, 146 aires viticoles avaient été établies dans 26 états.
