Visualization of wine origin, quality level and terroir by the landscape

Aluminum is a particularly interesting material for packaging because it is environmentally sustainable, lighter than standard glass bottles, and protective against light radiation [1].

Knowledge of the nitrogen nutrition status of grapevines is essential for the sustainable management of their nutrition for the production of quality grapes. The measurement of the chlorophyll index is a rapid, non-destructive and relatively inexpensive method that provides a good approximation of the nitrogen nutrition status of the vine during the season. Interpretation thresholds are currently insufficient or non-existent for some chlorophyll meters. Ideally, they should be available for each variety and each phenological stage. In order to popularize the use of chlorophyll-meters, measurements were carried out at Agroscope in Switzerland to establish the correlation between the indices obtained by the devices N-tester and SPAD 502.

The amino acids in grape juice are an important nitrogen source for yeast during alcoholic fermentation. Additionally, certain AAs are precursors to some of the volatile compounds found in wine and overall

Climate change and rising temperatures present a substantial challenge to viticulture, intensifying summer heat stress and accelerating berry ripening.

Il Barbera rappresenta sicuramente uno dei più importanti vitigni autoctoni del Piemonte occu­pando circa il 50% della superficie vitata regionale. Esso è ancora diffuso su un’area molto vasta, che si estende per oltre 200.000 ha, dando origine a diverse produzioni vinicole tutelate da denominazioni d’origine.
