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.

Climate change projections to support the transition to climate-smart viticulture

The Earth’s system is undergoing major changes through a wide range of spatial and temporal scales as a response to growing anthropogenic radiative forcing, which is pushing the whole system far beyond its natural variability. Sources of greenhouse gases largely exceed their sinks, thus leading to a strengthened greenhouse effect. More energy is thereby being supplied to the system, with inevitable shifts in climatic patterns and weather regimes. Over the last decades, these modifications have been manifested in the full statistical distributions of the atmospheric variables, with dramatic changes in the frequency and intensity of extremes. Natural hazards, such as severe droughts, floods, forest fires, or heatwaves, are being triggered by extreme atmospheric events worldwide, thus threatening human activities. Viticultculture is not only exposed to changing climates but is also highly vulnerable, as grapevine phenology and physiological development are strongly controlled by atmospheric conditions. Therefore, the assessment of climate change projections for a given region is critical for climate change adaptation and risk reduction in viticulture. By adopting timely and suitable measures, the future sustainability and resiliency of the sector can be fostered. Climate-grapevine chain modelling is an essential tool for better planning and management. However, the accuracy of the resulting projections is limited by many uncertainties that must be duly taken into account when transferring knowledge to stakeholders and decision-makers. Climate-smart viticulture will comprise ensembles of locally tuned strategies, envisioning both adaptation and mitigation, assisted by emerging technologies and decision-support systems.

δ13C : A still underused indicator in precision viticulture  

The first demonstration of the interest of carbon isotope composition of sugars in grapevine, as an integrated indicator of vineyard water status, dates back to 2000 (Gaudillère et al., 1999; Van Leeuwen et al., 2001). Thanks to the isotopic discrimination of Carbon that takes place during plant photosynthesis, under hydric stress conditions, it is possible to accurately estimate the photosynthetic activity. Ever since, δ13C has been widely applied with success to zonation, terroir studies and vine physiology research, but is still not widely used by viticulturists. This is quite astonishing by considering the impact of global warming on viticulture and the need to improve water management, that would justify a widespread use of δ13C.
The lack of private laboratories proposing the analysis, the cost of the technology, as well as the long analytical delays, have been detrimental to its development. Some laboratories tried to overcome the analytical difficulties of isotopic analysis by using fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, as a fast and cheap alternative to the official OIV method (IRMS). These claimed FTIR models have never been published or peer reviewed and cannot be considered robust. In this work, thanks to the recent acquisition of IRMS technology, new modern and robust applications of δ13C for viticulture are proposed. This includes the use of the analysis to make parcel separations at harvesting, the possibility to increase the precision of hydric stress cartography and the potential cost reduction when compared with Scholander pressure bomb analysis.

Mesoclimate impact on Tannat in the Atlantic terroir of Uruguay

The study of climate is relevant as an element conditioning the typicity of a product, its quality and sustainability over the years. The grapevine development and growth and the final grape and wine composition are closely related to temperature, while climate components vary at mesoscale according to topography and/or proximity to large bodies of water. The objective of this work is to assess the mesoclimate of the Atlantic region of Uruguay and to determine the effect of topography and the ocean on temperature and consequently on Tannat grapevine behavior.

Green berries on Gewürztraminer (Vitis vinifera L.) in South Tyrol (Italy)

The grape variety Gewürztraminer is known to be affected by two physiological disorders namely berry shrivel and bunch stem necrosis. During the season 2014 we noticed a new symptomatology type of ripening disorder on the variety. The new symptom showed not all berries fallowing the normal maturation stages, but single berries remaining at a soft but green stage till harvest. The broad distribution of these so called “green berries” symptoms in different production sites of our region, caused huge damage due to the difficulty of eliminating single berries per bunch before harvesting. Therefore, the Research Centre Laimburg began to investigate the reasons and origins of this new symptom. This work shows the results of first attempts to find causes for the symptom as well as the resulting approach to mitigate symptoms. Applications of magnesium leaf fertilizer showed first promising results against this putative disorder. To study the causal effect of the green berries 30 symptomatic vineyards in 2014 have been selected for a monitoring during the season 2016. To evaluate the foliar nutrient treatment two vineyards have been selected for application of magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride. Leaf and berry nutrient analysis, as well as the main quality parameters during ripening have been performed. As soon as “green berries” symptoms appeared, incidence and severity have been evaluated. Most of the symptomatic vineyards of the 2016 monitoring showed light to clear magnesium deficit symptoms on their foliage. Only during the seasons 2020 and 2021 “green berries” symptoms could be found in the leaf fertilizer treatment vineyards. Both seasons showed a significant effect of the magnesium treatments to reduce the incidence and severity of the symptom. It seems that the appearance of the “green berries” symptom on Gewürztraminer is correlated to a disturbed uptake of magnesium of the vines.
