«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: (2) climatic mapping for successful plantation of Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

A statistical model of sugar potential for Mourvèdre grapevine cultivar has been obtained using a group of 32 plots all around de south-east french mediterranean area. It is aimed to better understand the relations between viticultural practices and quality. The model shows strong influence of the temperature components on maturity. That is why a mapping valorization has been worked on at the local scale of a small viticultural region (2000 ha) and for the year 2005. The interpolation of temperature data was possible thanks to the MITEF method, which is acurate at a resolution of 50m. Rebuilding phenological stages has been done with a model using temperature summing adapted to Mourvèdre cv.. With moderate level of yield and canopy, the sugar potential for 2005 ranged from 11 to 14 %vol. depending on the location. With a maturity level of 12% vol. given as a minimal, it is thus possible to determine favourable and less favourable areas for the variety. Finally, turning up or down the level of yield or canopy gives us simulations of the impact of the grower practices on maturity potential, leading to an extent or a reduction of the possible planting area.

Oxidability of wines made from Spanish minority grape varieties

The phenolic profile of a wine plays an essential role in its oxidative capacity and in both white and red wines it defines its shelf life[1]. The study of minority varieties to produce wines with peculiar characteristics necessarily includes the phenolic and oxidative characterization of the wines produced. This paper presents the study of wines made from 24 minority and majority white and red grape varieties, focusing on phenolic characteristics (total phenols, slightly polymerized phenols, highly polymerized phenols, anthocyanins…), color, as well as parameters related to the oxidability of the wines and their capacity to consume oxygen [2].

La composition du raisin de la variété Muscat d’Alexandrie a été étudiée dans trois terroirs différents au Nord-Est de la Tunisie (RafRaf, Baddar et Kelibia).
Des échantillons de raisins ont été récoltés à maturité industrielle durant les saisons 2001 et 2002 dans les trois régions citées. Les paramètres pomologiques (poids moyen de la grappe et de la baie) et physico-chimiques

A fine-scale approach to map bioclimatic indices using and comparing dynamical and geostatistical methods

Climate, especially temperature, plays a major role in grapevine development. Several bioclimaticindices have been created to relate temperature to grapevine phenology (e.g. Winkler Index, Huglin Index, Grapevine Flowering Véraison model [GFV]).

Influenze pedo-ambientali su produzione, qualità e caratteristiche sensoriali dell’Albana di Romagna

L’Albana è il vitigno a bacca bianca tradizionale delle colline della Romagna, dove é presente per più di 2.500 ha. Con le sue uve si produce il vino “Albana di Romagna”, una delle più storiche D.O.C.G. italiane essendo stata costituita nel 1987. La maggiore concentrazione di vigneti di Albana si trova nell’Imolese e nelle colline del Ravennate, ma ben conosciuta per la qualità del prodotto é anche la produzione di Bertinoro, nel Forlivese.
