Prospects for enlarging of microzone Manavi in the East Georgia

Abstract

The experimental studies conducted in the eastern Georgia in Sagarejo administrative district on the foothills of the southern slope of Tsiv-Gombori range reveal the possibility of enlarging Manavi traditional specific zone to the north-west (from Giorgitsminda to Khashmi), at 500-750 m above sea level. Transitional climate from dry subtropical to moderately humid, relief, black cinnamonic soils, distinguished quantitative indices of the Kahuri Mtsvane grape cultivar provide the best conditions for production of European type wine – Manavi source region. The wine has light-straw color, greenish tint, soft taste, harmonious, exquisite, with fruit aroma and developed bouquet.

A lower rate of grape berry transpiration delays ripening and reduces flavonoid content

Exposing berries to solar radiation improves most berry composition traits. Many of these effects have been linked to photomorphogenic mechanisms and berry temperature.

Use of the soils information system for detailed vineyard soil surveys and as a component of precision viticulture

Vineyard soil surveys can be costly and time consuming. The Soils Information System (SIS) provides a set of tools to do a quick evaluation of soil physical properties in the vineyard. First, a system equipped with GPS and EM38 equipment, provides a very precise DEM and a soil electrical conductivity map. Specific sampling points are located for a tractor-mounted geotechnical probe to make soil physical measurements.

Plant nitrogen assimilation and partitioning as a function of crop load

Aims: The optimization of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, i.e. uptake, assimilation and partitioning) is a solution towards the sustainable production of premium wines, while reducing fertilization and environmental impact. The influence of crop load on the accumulation of N compounds in fruits is still poorly understood. The present study assesses the impacts of bunch thinning on NUE and the consequences on the free amino N (FAN) profile in fruits.

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)

Chemical composition of press and free-run wines from three vintages and Bordeaux grape varieties. A comprehensive analysis

Press wines play a crucial role in red winemaking, representing up to 15% of the final blend [1]. Optimizing their value is essential both economically and for maintaining wine identity, especially given evolving climatic and societal challenges. However, little recent research exists on their composition.
