Developing an integrated viticulture in the upper part of the hill Somló

Abstract

The hill Somló looks like a huge island wich jumps out of the see, a few kilometers away from the slope of Bakony highland and on the edge of the Hungarian small plane. Viticulture has started on the slopes of the hill few thousand years ago, but because of the latest technological development and economical circumstances the copartners have developed a synchronized research program. In the frame of this program we have 8 very distinctive sub-projects. The projects are including the effect of rootstock on grapevine quality, the canopy management, the order of the steps and the quality cultivation, the evaluation of site effect and row direction of the plantation, the plant protection system and the fertilization of the vineyards. Differences were obtained in sugar content related alcohol content in the crop load management experiment, in the soil cultivation and fertilization experiment. The titratable acid content also varied by treatments, we have got the lowest value (5.44 g/l) in the higher N fertilization treatment in the V. vinifera cv ‘Italian Riesling’ vineyard, while the highest value (7.93 g/l) was in the mechanically cultivated experiment among other two kind of cultivation methods in the V. vinifera cv ‘Furmint’ plantation. It was measured the pH, the residual sugar content, the sugar free dry matter content and phenol compounds in a few experiments. Row direction, rootstocks crop load management, soil cultivation methods, and fertilization are very influential in the quality production as our results shows.

OENOLOGICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY POTENTIAL OF WINES PRODUCED FROM DISEASE RESISTANT GRAPE CULTIVARS (PIWI WINES)

The strategy for sustainability in the wine sector of the EU refers to a set of practices and principles that aim to minimize the negative impact of wine production on the environment, social and economic sustainability. Sustainable wine production involves a range of practices that are designed to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote the well-being of workers and communities.

Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.

Descriptive analysis of Sangiovese and Cabernet-Sauvignon wines from different terroirs in D.O.C. Bolgheri (Tuscany)

Different terroirs have been identified in Bolgheri area (a viticultural appellation in the Tirrenian coast of Tuscany) by the aid of pedological, landscape and agronomic observations in 1993. Numerous preliminary observations suggested that wines obtained from these different terroirs were unique.
