Vino e paesaggio: materiali per il governo del territorio vitivinicolo. Il piano regolatore delle città del vino

Abstract

[English version below]

S’intende per Piano Regolatore delle Città del Vino la metodologia per redigere la parte strutturale dello strumento comunale di governo del territorio. Parliamo, infatti, del principale strumento comunale di governo del territorio, così come è venuto maturando nella riflessione delle Città del Vino, strumento che si misura con la sfida di governare tutto il territorio in modo coerente e sostenibile, a partire dal riconoscimento del valore del “sistema vigneto” e della sua intrinseca fragilità.
In questo senso il PRCV rappresenta, fin dall’inizio (1996, sottoposto successivamente nel 1998 nel corso del 2° Simposio Internazionale sulla zonazione “Vino e territorio”, organizzato dall’Associazione nazionale Città del Vino, nel canovaccio dei temi più specificatamente agronomici), una piccola “rivoluzione copernicana”: il piano non si pone più solo l’obiettivo di trovare un posto alle esigenze urbane, ma soprattutto quello di capire quali esigenze possano essere soddisfatte dal territorio ed a quali condizioni. In altra parole, la “campagna”, in particolare i territori vitivinicoli, diventa centrali per la qualità dello sviluppo economico e per la qualità della vita, i produttori diventano i protagonisti della condivisione di nuove regole di gestione dei territori e ne assumono insieme agli amministratori pubblici la responsabilità.
Nel 2009 è stato completato un aggiornamento della metodologia che riguarda il paesaggio, inteso come un bene fondamentale della collettività, non semplicemente strumentale, ma per questo da studiare, conoscere, promuovere, valorizzare e tutelare laddove occorra. Il lavoro svolto, partendo da una ricognizione attenta delle normative regionali in vigore sulla materia, passando per un esame della situazione e caratteristiche dei Siti legati alla vitivinicoltura Patrimonio dell’Umanità, in cui non figura nessun territorio italiano, arricchisce il metodo con alcune nuove buone pratiche da tenere in considerazione per la pianificazione delle aree rurali.
Se Io studio dell’evolversi del paesaggio agrario mostra quanto la separazione tra utile e bello sia un’astrazione concettuale recentissima, nell’agire della tradizione è impossibile separare ciò che è stato fatto per l’utilità da quanto per la bellezza, tanto le due cose erano indistinguibili, quasi che la tradizione non riuscisse a concepire qualcosa di utile che non fosse anche, e per ciò stesso, bella. E viceversa, trovando nella bellezza un’utilità e nell’utilità una qualità anche estetica.

With the PRCV (Piano Regolatore delle Città del Vino = “Urban Planning of the Wine Cities”) we mean the structural part of the main Municipal tool for the governance of the Italian territories, as it has been framing and developping by the Italian Association of Wine Cities. In this framework, its main challenge is to face the governance of all territories, in a coherent and sustainable way, starting from the recognition of the value of the “vineyard system” and its inner fragi I ity.
In this regard, the PRCV has been representing since the beginning (in 1996 the first draft was released and then presented in 1998 during the “International Symposium of Wine and Territory”) a little “Copernican Revolution”. The Planning doesn’t intend to find a piace for all the urban needs, but it tries to understand which needs could be satisfied from the territory, and how. In other words, the “countryside”, above all the vineyard landscape, is relevant for the quality of the economie development and for the quality of life. The farmers begin to share the new landscape governance rules and responsibilities with the locai public administrations.
In 2009 the revision of this method has been completed, and here the landscape is intended as an essential good for people, not only as a capita! good. For this reason, it has to be studied, known, promoted, improved and preserved where needed.
The work starts from a reconnaissance of the rules of the different Italian Regions, then passes through a careful examination of the situation and the characteristics of the Heritage Sites of UNESCO, in which no Italian wine landscape is present, and in this way it enlarges the method with some good suggestions.
If the agricultural landscape study shows how the discerption between useful and beautiful is a very recent abstraction, in tradition on the contrary, it is impossible to detach what was done for utility from what was done for beauty. It seems that tradition couldn’t even ideate something useful that wasn’t also beautiful. And vice versa, also finding utility in beauty.

EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF S. CEREVISIAE MANNOPROTEINS ON WINE ASTRINGENCY AND THE IMPACT OF THEIR POLYSACCHARIDE STRUCTURE

Mannoproteins (MPs) are proteoglycans from the outmost layer of yeast cell walls released into wine during alcoholic fermentation and ageing on lees processes. The use of commercial preparations of mannoproteins as additives to improve wine stability with regards to the crystallization of tartaric salts and to prevent protein haze in the case of white and rosé wines is authorized by the OIV. Regarding red wines and polyphenols, mannoproteins are described as able to improve their colloidal stability and modulate the astringent effect of condensed tannins. The latter interact with salivary proteins forming insoluble aggregates that cause a loss of lubrication in the mouth and promote a drying and puckering sensation. However, neither the interaction mechanisms involved in mannoproteins capacity to impact astringency nor the structure-function relationships related to this property are fully understood.

The role of molecular ecophysiology in terroir expression

Terroir is a complex concept which associates soil, climate, grape variety and cultural practices that include the training system and oenological techniques. It is a type of social construction with man at its centre. The typicality of a wine is also a social construction which is the result of an agreement among specialists vis à vis a given quality of the wine whose references are the wine’s origins (e.g. terroir) and taste.

Effects of post-fermentative cold maceration on chemical and sensory characteristics of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Montepulciano wines

Astringency sensation decreases slowly during the aging of red wine. Complex reactions of condensation and precipitation of wine polyphenols are involved in this phenomenon. Wine composition and conditions of aging, such as temperature and oxygen availability, strongly influence evolution of the phenol matrix. Recently, a Post-Fermentative cold Maceration (PFM) technique was tested with the aim of accelerating reactions leading to the reduction of astringency and exploiting chemical compounds not extracted from the solid parts of grapes during the previous traditional maceration phase. To this purpose, an innovative maceration system was engineered and used to perform PFM trials on marc derived from vinification of different varieties of red grapes.

Evolution of cabernet sauvignon wines macerated with their own toasted vine-shoots

Toasted pruning vine-shoots represent a promising new enological tool for developing wines with chemical and organoleptic high quality, allowing that the resources of the vineyard to be returned to the wine through a “circular process”.

Dissecting the polysaccharide‐rich grape cell wall matrix during the red winemaking process, using high‐throughput and fractionation methods

Limited information is available on grape wall-derived polymeric structure/composition and how this changes during fermentation. Commercial winemaking operations use enzymes that target the polysaccharide-rich polymers of the cell walls of grape tissues to clarify musts and extract pigments during the fermentations. In this study we have assessed changes in polysaccharide composition/ turnover throughout the winemaking process by applying recently developed cell wall profiling approaches to both wine and pomace polysaccharides. The methods included gas chromatography for monosaccharide composition (GC-MS), infra-red (IR) spectroscopy and comprehensive microarray polymer profiling
(CoMPP) using cell wall probes.
