Landscape qualities and keys for action

Abstract

Parallèlement à la connaissance des aptitudes viticoles, le terroir témoigne d’une identité locale, d’une spécificité des conditions de productions et d’une originalité des lieux. Le paysage, support sensible des choix d’aménagements locaux, constitue une entrée pertinente pour une réflexion durable, car il permet d’identifier et de conforter les supports identitaires, de redonner une vision spatiale à un projet technique viticole et de l’intégrer dans les échelles multiples d’un territoire. Une démarche de paysage s’appuie sur un besoin local, exprimé par une collectivité ou des viticulteurs. Elle se décompose en une première étape de lecture et de diagnostic de paysage permettant de se questionner sur la place, le rôle et l’image du viticulteur dans le territoire. Cette première étape révèle la qualité des projets viticoles et recherche la cohérence entre les différents gestionnaires du territoire. Mais les observations et interrogations formulées ne restent qu’une entrée, à compléter par l’expertise de personnes ressources locales ou par des enquêtes auprès des différents acteurs territoriaux. Ensuite intervient l’élaboration du projet, associé à un plan de gestion, qui répond à un dysfonctionnement ou besoin viticole local, tels les aménagements des abords de cave, des sentiers pédagogiques et la réimplantation de haies. Les viticulteurs, principaux gestionnaires d’un terroir viticole, doivent être au cœur des discussions et force de proposition quant à l’avenir de leur territoire et aux priorités du projet. La pré-existance d’un mouvement collectif et d’une conscience environnementale au sein des viticulteurs et des acteurs locaux est un atout non négligeable pour favoriser les dialogues et les dynamiques d’un projet. Par ces démarches, le paysage devient l’expression d’un projet viticole, concerté, voulu, approprié et non subi ; c’est-à-dire une clé d’action pour la viticulture durable.

Physical-chemical and sensory characterization of wine made with the cultivar syrah produced in a double pruning system

In recent years, the consumption of fine wines in Brazil has increased significantly, a phenomenon that is also reflected in the expansion of production to new regions. In the brazilian southeast for example, the so-called “winter wines” are being produced, through management in two cycles, one of formation and one of production, with two prunings and one harvest per year, a technique known as double pruning, with vineyards established at altitudes close to or above 1,000 m above sea level.

Intravarietal diversity: an opportunity for climate change adaptation

Merlot grapevine is the second wine cultivar most planted in the world and especially in the Bordeaux wine region. This cultivar has many advantages in producing high quality wine; however, in the last decade, climate change has increased the sugar concentration in berries at harvest and shortened the maturation cycle. If this has been up to now a great opportunity to improve wine quality profile, we are touching the tipping point. High sugar concentration at harvest induces high alcool content in wine which can negatively impact wine quality. There are many viticultural and oenological practices possible to limit this effect. In this study we focus on plant material through intra-varietal diversity of Merlot cultivar.

Grapevine productivity modelling in the Portuguese Douro Region

In Portugal, and particularly in the Demarcated Region of Douro (DDR), wine production has a great tradition, producing the unique and worldwide famous Port wine as well as other remarkably good table wines. In this study the impact of projected climate change to wine production is analysed for the DDR. A statistical grapevine yield model (GYM) is developed using climate parameters as predictors.

Il piano regolatore delle citta’ del vino

Obiettivo generale di questo documenta è fornire un metodo di pianificazione che superi l’organizzazione delle aree rurali, ed in particolare vitate, finalizzata unicamente all’ot­timizzazione economico produttiva delle aziende, verso una pianificazione integrata degli spazi aperti.

Raman spectroscopy as a rapid method to assess grape polyphenolic maturation and wine malolactic fermentation on site

Wineries can increase their economic and environmental sustainability by optimizing the winemaking procedures, from harvest to wine maturation and conservation. Based on analytical data of the chemical composition and wine sensory evaluation, the enologist makes his own decision regarding the enological interventions at the harvest date selection, winemaking and post-winemaking.
