Vineyard Landscape in Vale dos Vinhedos: Pressure and Protection

Abstract

The region with Origin Indication Vale dos Vinhedos (IPVV) is located in the cities of Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi and Monte Belo do Sul. It was established in November 2002, through an act of Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial, according to Resolução INPI Nº. 75, of 2000, and Law Nº. 9.279 of 1996. The changes on the grape growing and wine making in the last 15 years, with the expansion of grapevines Vitis viníferas cultivation, the installation of several modern family wine companies, making wine with competitive quality, among other aspects, have enabled the implementation of concepts of Geographical Indications. The (re) cognition of the wine from the Vale dos Vinhedos region is the result, mainly, of the action of the Associação dos Produtores de Vinhos Finos (Winemakers Association) of Vale dos Vinhedos (APROVALE), established in 1995. For this, they were employed all the media and enotourism was the most efficient way to create a national identity for the wines of the Origin Indication Vale dos Vinhedos. The effects can be seen in the geographical space and landscape of the region. Among several effects, we can point out the surge in the price of land, generating real estate speculation, which already existed in the expansion of the adjacent urban areas. For protecting the vine growing and the wine landscape, by suggestion of technicians and through APROVALE pressure a Provisional Commission was formed in Bento Gonçalves, in 2001 on, in accordance with the law, to regulate the actions in the area Vale dos Vinhedos and to treat of a Master to establish guidelines for the use of land, in the occasion, in Brasil, although in that time this was only required for cities. The commission understood that it should propose a Rural Master Plan for the entire city. A multidisciplinary technical commission was hired to set up the above-mentioned plan. Thus, in 2006, a municipal law will come into effect to govern the use of land in the rural areas of Bento Gonçalves and, consequently, giving legal bases to protect the viticulture and vineyard landscape in Vale dos Vinhedos.

Dialing in grapevine water stress indicators to better reflect holistic stress responses

Current remote sensing strategies rely heavily on reflectance data and energy balance modelling using thermal imagery to estimate crop water use and stress. These approaches show great promise for driving precision management decisions, but still require work to better understand how detected changes relate to meaningful physiological changes. Under water stress, grapevines exhibit a range of responses involving both biological and physical changes within leaves and canopies.

A nutraceutical based on mediterranean diet with omega-3 fatty acid and resveratrol from grapewine counteracts ocular degenerative diseases

More recently, studies have shown that polyphenols could also prevent or improve vision in patients with ocular diseases and especially Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which is an eye disease characterized by damage to the central part of the retina, the macula, and that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite therapeutic advances thanks to the use of anti-vascular

Polyphenol targeted and untargeted metabolomics on rosé wines : impact of protein fining on polyphenolic composition and color

Color is one of the key elements in the marketing of rosé wines[1]. Their broad range of color is due to the presence of red pigments (i.e. anthocyanins and their derivatives) and yellow pigments, likely including polyphenol oxidation products. Clarifying agents are widely used in the winemaking industry to enhance wine stability and to modulate wine color by binding and precipitating polyphenols[2]. During this study, the impact of four different fining agents (i.e. two vegetal proteins, potatoe and pea proteins, an animal protein, casein, and a synthetic polymer, polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, PVPP) on Syrah Rose wine color and phenolic composition (especially pigments) was investigated. Color was characterized by spectrophotometry analysis using the CIELab system in addition to absorbance data. Fining using PVPP had the highest impact on redness (a*) and lightness (L*) parameters, whereas patatin strongly reduced the yellow component (b*) of the wine color. In parallel, the concentration of 125 phenolic compounds including 85 anthocyanins and derived pigments was determined by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to elestrospray ionisaion triple-quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-ESI-MS) in the Multiple Reaction Monitoring mode[3] .

A few observations on double sigmoid fruit growth

Health space in vine spa in the world

This elaboration presents vine spa has precious contribution of social development health and well being in culture of wine regions. The majority of the vine-spas in the world draw raw materials from the vineyard; both for cosmetics treatments and for dishes in their restaurants. Vitis vinifera vine provides fresh grapes for dishes and massages, seeds and oil from the seeds, as well as the leaves, and its extracts, and above all the wine.
