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.

Insights into the stable isotope ratio variability of hybrid grape varieties

The wine industry faces the consumer’s increasing demand for a sustainable and environmentally-friendly production [1]. This demand has been shared and boosted by the European Union within the European Green Deal in the Farm to Fork strategy that aims to reduce a 50% the pesticide utilisation in farming systems. Among the agronomical approaches so far proposed, the use of mould resitant hybrid varieties -based on crossings of Vitis vinifera with other Vitis spp [2]- with a high tolerance to the attack of vine patogens is gaining the vinegrowers attention and the production area is continuously increasing
