Grape ripening timing as a base for viticultural zoning: an agro-ecological approach

The aim of this study was to investigate long-term sensorial and compositional effects of copper addition to the white wine naturally high in varietal thiol levels, with added volatile sulfur compounds

Assessing grape composition is critical in vineyard management. It is required to decide the harvest date and to optimize cultural practices toward the achievement of production goals. The grape composition is variable in time and space, as it is affected by the ripening process and depends on soil and climate conditions.

Context and purpose of the study. Globally, vineyard cultivation uses conventional methods to manage pests, diseases and increase yield.

L’identification des produits par le nom de la ville, de la région, de la province d’origine d’un produit tend aujourd’hui à se développer partout dans le monde et notamment dans le secteur agro-alimentaire, mais aussi dans les secteurs des produits artisanaux.

Vineyard and grape variety are two popular ways of classifying wines. Vineyard designation is a traditional practice for European wine labels but is being increasingly replaced by grape variety designation, mainly used for New World and Swiss wine labels.
