Terroir in Slovak viticulture area

Abstract

Terroir method has been used for assessment of growing site in the world for years. In Slovakia actually regionalisation is used as the similar method which does not cover all the elements of wine quality evaluation however. Terroir is the complex embracing climatic conditions, character of region, growing technology, and that of wine production. Marking of wine according to region (terroir) guarantees the fact that wine has given characteristics which are irredeemable together with the high and permanent quality also the amount of customers and due to that it gains stabile place on the market.

Application of nitrogen forms such as nitrate, urea, and amino acids effects on leaf and berry physiology and wine quality

Nitrogen (N) uptake by grapevine roots in forms like nitrate, ammonium, urea, or amino acids influences vegetative and generative growth, impacting grape quality and wine sensory profile. The study examined nitrogen’s influence on phenolic compounds in leaves, berries, and wine across different scales — hydroponics, soil culture, and vineyard trials. Nitrogen forms altered metabolite patterns in leaves and wine significantly, affecting aroma and flavor. Key nitrogen assimilation enzymes (NR, NiR, GS) in grapevine rootstocks responded to nitrogen forms and timing. Hydroponically grown rootstocks fertilized with various forms showed differences in enzyme expression and activity, suggesting rootstocks can assimilate amino acid glutamine (Gln).
