Relations between soil characteristics and must and wine composition in different terroirs of Emilia Romagna (Italy)

Abstract

The under-way zoning works of the Emilia viticulture have pointed out a huge variability of the features of the soils, which belong to this area. From the “Colli di Parma” to the “Colli d’Imola”, going along the hilly environment across the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna, all over a vine area of 7.000 ha, you can find more than 30 soils, which have also been described. For a few of them, the most typical of each territory, that have the same topographic conditions as well as the same local climate and the same cultural practices, it has been possible to underline their influence on the vegetative and productive features of the local grapevine varieties, as well as on the quality of their wines. A positive and significant relation was established for the variety Sangiovese between the active limestone levels and the sensory characteristics of the wine.

Breeding grapevines for disease and low temperature tolerance: the U.S. perspective

Most grape scion cultivars grown around the world are derived from a single species, Vitis vinifera. Yet, the proportion of interspecific hybrids is increasing for a variety of reasons, including resistance to abiotic stresses such as low temperatures; societal, economic and environmental pressures to reduce pesticide usage; and to add a greater range of flavors to new table grape cultivars.

La hiérarchisation des Coteaux du Languedoc: une application concrète du zonage vitivinicole

L’A.O.C. Coteaux du Languedoc est située dans le Sud de la France, dans la partie Ouest de la bordure méditerranéenne. Elle forme un vaste amphithéâtre largement ouvert sur la mer méditerranée. L’Appellation a été constituée en 1960 par le regroupement de 14 anciennes petites appellations d’origine représentant 55 communes éparpillées dans les départements de l’Aude, de l’Hérault et du Gard. Par la suite, plusieurs extensions successives ont conduit à un ensemble actuellement composé de 168 communes.
