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.

Phenolic composition of Tempranillo Blanco grapes changes after foliar application of urea

Our research aimed to determine the effect and efficiency of foliar application of urea on the phenolic composition of Tempranillo Blanco grapes. The field experiment was carried out in 2019 and 2020 seasons and the plot was located in D.O.Ca Rioja (North of Spain). The vineyard was Vitis vinifera L. Tempranillo Blanco and grafted on Richter-110 rootstock. The treatments were control (C), whose plants were sprayed with water and three doses of urea: plants were sprayed with urea 3 kg N/ha (U3), 6 kg N/ha (U6) and 9 kg N/ha (U9). The applications were performed in two phenological stages, pre-veraison (Pre) and veraison (Ver). Also, each of the treatments was repeated one week later. Control and treatments were performed in triplicate and arranged in a randomised block design. Grapes were harvested at optimum ripening stage. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyse the phenolic composition of the grapes. Finally, the results obtained from the analytical determinations – flavonols, flavanols and non-flavonoid (hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids and stilbenes) – were studied statistically by analysis of variance. The results showed that, in 2019, U6-Pre and U9-Pre treatments increased the hydroxybenzoic acid content in grapes, and also all foliar treatments applied at Pre enhanced the stilbene concentration. Moreover, U3-Ver was the only treatment that rose flavonol and stilbene contents in the Tempranillo Blanco grapes. In 2020, all treatments applied at Pre enhanced the flavonol concentration in grapes. Furthermore, U3-Pre and U9-Pre treatments increased stilbene content in grapes. Nevertheless, the hydroxybenzoic acid content was improved by U6-Ver and U9-Ver and besides, hydroxycinnamic acid concentration in grapes was increased by all treatments applied at Ver. In conclusion, the lower and highest dose of urea (U3 and U9), applied at pre-veraison, were the best treatments to improve the Tempranillo Blanco grape phenolic composition.

Assessing the relationship between cordon strangulation, dieback, and fungal trunk disease symptom expression

Grapevine trunk diseases including Eutypa dieback are a major factor in the decline of vineyards and may lead to loss of productivity, reduced income, and premature reworking or replanting. Several studies have yielded results indicating that vines may be more likely to express symptoms of vascular disease if their health is already compromised by stress. In Australia and many other wine-growing regions it is a common practice for canes to be wrapped tightly around the cordon wire during the establishment of permanent cordon arms. It is likely that this practice may have a negative effect on health and longevity, as older cordons that have been trained in this manner often display signs of decay and dieback, with the wire often visibly embedded within the wood of the cordon. It is possible that adopting a training method which avoids constriction of the vasculature of the cordon may help to limit the onset of vascular disease symptom expression. A survey was conducted during the spring of two consecutive growing seasons on vineyards in South Australia displaying symptoms of Eutypa lata infection when symptomless shoots were 50–100 cm long. Vines were assessed as follows: (i) the proportion of cordon exhibiting dieback was rated using a 0–100% scale; (ii) the proportion of canopy exhibiting foliar symptoms of Eutypa dieback was rated using a 0–100% scale; (iii) the severity of strangulation was rated using a 0–4 point scale. Images were also taken of each vine for the purpose of measuring plant area index (PAI) using the VitiCanopy App. The goal of the survey was to determine if and to what extent any correlation exists between severity of strangulation and cordon dieback, in addition to Eutypa dieback foliar symptom expression.

Bioclimatic shifts and land use options for Viticulture in Portugal

Land use, plays a relevant role in the climatic system. It endows means for agriculture practices thus contributing to the food supply. Since climate and land are closely intertwined through multiple interface processes, climate change may lead to significant impacts in land use. In this study, 1-km observational gridded datasets are used to assess changes in the Köppen–Geiger and Worldwide Bioclimatic (WBCS)

Legacy of land-cover changes on soil erosion and microbiology in Burgundian vineyards

Soils in vineyards are recognized as complex agrosystems whose characteristics reflect complex interactions between natural factors (lithology, climate, slope, biodiversity) and human activities. To date, most of the unknown lies in an incomplete understanding of soil ecosystems, and specifically in the microbial biodiversity even though soil microbiota is involved in many key functions, such as nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. Soil biological properties are indicative of soil quality. Therefore, understanding how soil communities are related to soil ecosystem functioning is becoming an essential issue for soil strategy conservation. Here, we propose to assess the importance of land-cover history on the present-day microbiological and physico-chemical properties. The studied area was selected in the Burgundian vineyards (Pernand-Vergelesses, Burgundy, France) where land occupation has been reconstructed over the last 40 years. Soil samples were collected in five areas reflecting various land cover history (forest, vineyards, shifting from forest to vineyards). For each area, physico-chemical parameters (pH, C, N, P, grain size) were measured and DNA was extracted to characterize the abundance and diversity of microbial communities. The obtained results show significant differences in the five areas suggesting that present-day microbial molecular biomass and bacterial taxonomic is partly inherited from past land occupation. Over longer period of time, such study of land-uses legacies may help to better assess ecosystem recovery and the impact of management practices for a better soil quality and vineyards sustainability.
