Marketing and zoning (“Great Zoning”): researches and various considerations

Abstract

[English version below]

Dans de précédents travaux sur le zonage “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Grand Zonage”), on a traité, entre autre, de la “GRANDE FILIERA” (GF) (Grande filière) où parmi les 54 descripteurs prévus pour lire et évaluer par exemple un zonage, sont compris aussi la Communication – Marketing et les aspects qui y sont liés, comme facteurs fondamentaux du “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) “Grand Zonage” qui part des aspects économiques, sociaux et existentiels qui représentent en filière du bas vers le haut les “GRANDI OBIETTIVI” (GO) (“Grands Objectifs” de l’activité vitivinicole aussi et donc du zonage, et qui ne part pas des aspects “techniques” typiques du “Petit Zonage” (PZ) ou “Zonage Thématique” tels que par exemple le sol, le climat, le modèle de vignoble et sa gestion, etc., qui représentent les “moyens” pour atteindre les “grands objectifs” cités ci-dessus (Cargnello G. 1997, 1999 a-b et 2003 a-c).
Il faut donc souligner à nouveau que les “grands objectifs” ne doivent pas être confondus, comme il arrive souvent dans notre secteur aussi, avec les moyens utilisés pour atteindre ces objectifs. L’objectif de ce travail est de démontrer ultérieurement l’importance fondamentale de l’aspect économique dans le zonage, et en particulier la composante communication et marketing qui doit cependant être gérée de manière équitable et harmonique en ce qui concerne les autres facteurs de l’activité productive, c’està-dire les aspects techniques, économiques-sociaux, et existentiels, prévus dans notre “Grand Filière” (GF).
Ce travail a été conduit a Ormelle dans le Nord-Est de l’Italie, en Vénétie en Province de Treviso dans la “TERRA DELLA VALLE DEL PIAVE” (“Terre de la Valléè du Piave”), en suivant la méthodologie de base suivante: Cargnello G., (1999); 2003a; Carbonneau A., Cargnello G., (2003). Les résultats philosophiques, méthodologiques et applicatifs obtenus dans cette recherche sont très encourageants et nous induisent à intensifier ces activités, dans le but d’appliquer dans la pratique du zonage les indications d’ordre technique, économique, social et existentiel fournies par ces recherches sur le “Grand Zonage”.

In preceding works on zoning “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Great Zoning”) the so-called “GRANDE FILIERA” (GF) (“Great Chain”) has been discussed. Within this frame, among the 54 indicators which can be used to read and to appraise a zoning process there are also Marketing and Promotion as fundamental factors of the so-called “GRANDE ZONAZIONE” (GZ) (“Great Zoning”). This GZ starts from economic, social and existential aspects which represent from the bottom of the chain the “GRANDI OBIETTIVI) (GO) (“Great Objectives”) of the vine growing process too and therefore of zoning and does not start from “technical” aspects which are typical of the so-called “Small Zoning” or ” Thematic Zoning”, as for instance soil, climate, vineyard model and its management, etc., which instead represent the “tools” to reach the “great objectives” above quoted (Cargnello G. 1997 and 2003).
Hence, we have to emphasize that the “great objectives” must not be confused, as it often happens also in our research groups, with the means used for achieving such objectives.
The goal of this work is to stress the basic role that either economic issues or marketing and promotion assume in zoning. The latter, however, should be managed in a fair and unbiased way according to the other technical, economic-social and existential factors of the production process as stated in the so-called “Great Chain”.
The work has been carried out in the Northeast part of Italy, in the Veneto Region and, more specifically, in the Province of Treviso in the “TERRA DELLA VALLE DEL PIAVE” (“Land of the Piave Valley”), taking into account the following basic methodology: Cargnello G., (1999); 2003a; Carbonneau A., Cargnello G., (2003).
The philosophical, methodological and application results coming from these researches are very encouraging. They induce us to intensify them in order to put into practice, in the zoning process, the technical, economic, social and existential indications on the “Great Zoning”, which emerge from these researches.

Drought tolerance assessment and differentiation of grapevine cultivars using physiological metrics: insights from field studies

This study aimed to validate a protocol and compare metrics for evaluating drought tolerance in two Vitis vinifera grapevine cultivars under field conditions. Various metrics were calculated to represent the physiological responses of plants to progressive water deficit. Data were collected from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay plants subjected to three irrigation levels during the 2022-2023 season, along with data from three previous seasons. Hydro-escape areas were used to assess the plant’s ability to reduce water potential with decreasing soil water availability.

Freeze-thaw treatment to enhance phenolic ripening and tannin oxidation of seeds

Phenolic ripening represents a major interest for quality wine producers. Nevertheless, climatic or genotypical limitations can often prevent optimal maturation process. During winemaking seeds can be easily separated and technologically processed to improve their quality.

Water and physiological response to early leaf removal of cv. Verdejo in rainfed conditions, at different times of the day, in the D.O. Rueda (Spain)

Aim: Early leaf removal, generally applied before flowering, is mostly conceived as a technique to control grape yield and improve the health of grapes and focused on the final objective of increasing wine quality.

Climate projections over France wine-growing region and its potential impact on phenology

Climate change represents a major challenge for the French wine industry. Climatic conditions in French vineyards have already changed and will continue to evolve. One of the notable effects on grapevine is the advancing growing season. The aim of this study is to characterise the evolution of agroclimatic indicators (Huglin index, number of hot days, mean temperature, cumulative rainfall and number of rainy days during the growing season) at French wine-growing regions scale between 1980 and 2019 using gridded data (8 km resolution, SAFRAN) and for the middle of the 21th century (2046-2065) with 21 GCMs statistically debiased and downscaled at 8 km. A set of three phenological models were used to simulate the budburst (BRIN, Smoothed-Utah), flowering, veraison and theoretical maturity (GFV and GSR) stages for two grape varieties (Chardonnay and Cabernet-Sauvignon) over the whole period studied. All the French wine-growing regions show an increase in both temperatures during the growing season and Huglin index. This increase is accompanied by an advance in the simulated flowering (+3 to +9 days), veraison (+6 to +13 days) and theoretical maturity (+6 to +16 days) stages, which are more noticeable in the north-eastern part of France. The climate projections unanimously show, for all the GCMs considered, a clear increase in the Huglin index (+662 to 771 °C.days compared to the 1980-1999 period) and in the number of hot days (+5.6 to 22.6 days) in all the wine regions studied. Regarding rainfall, the expected evolution remains very uncertain due to the heterogeneity of the climates simulated by the 21 models. Only 4 regions out of 21 have a significant decrease in the number of rainy days during the growing season. The two budburst models show a strong divergence in the evolution of this stage with an average difference of 18 days between the two models on all grapevine regions. The theoretical maturity is the most impacted stage with a potential advance between 40 and 23 days according to wine-growing regions.

Characterization of non-cultivated wild grapevines in Extremadura (Spain) 

Several Eurasian wild grapevine populations were found along Extremadura region (southwestern Spain). For conservation and study, one individual from four different populations (named L1, L2, L5 and L6) was vegetatively propagated and planted at Instituto de Investigaciones Agrarias Finca La Orden (CICYTEX), Badajoz. The aim of the present work was to characterize those conserved individuals from four different populations based on both an ampelographic description and a molecular analysis. Three vines per individual were studied.
