Terroir e DOC: riflessi produttivi e commercial

Abstract

Da dove scaturisce tutto l’interesse attuale per il terroir? Si provi, per dare risposta a questo quesito, ad immaginare il vino avulso dalla sua dimensione territoriale. Cosa si otterrebbe? Un vino bianco, un vino rosso o quant’altro, ma comunque un prodotto privo di conno­tazione geografica, di premesse storiche, di radici tradizionali, di potere evocativo, di iden­tità e di personalità.
La viticoltura, a differenza di altre produzioni agroalimetari, ha da sempre “denominato” i propri prodotti con il nome della zona d’origine ed oggi, nell’epoca in cui spesso la qualità e il valore degli alimenti vengono riconosciuti solo in riferimento all’area di produzione, il vino continua a godere di questo innegabile vantaggio strategico.
Inoltre il binomio vino-territorio assume rinnovato interesse ai giomi nostri, dove sotto la spinta dell’enoturismo, il territorio ha assunto accanto alla funzione storica di “fattore di pro­duzione”, anche quella moderna di “prodotto” (De Ros & Falcetti, 1996). Il vino, cioè, si vende sia in virtù della qualità intrinseca (che potremo definire tecnica ed organolettica), sia grazie al suo “intorno” rappresentato dalla cantina, dalla zona di produzione, dalle manifes­tazioni legaate ad esso, etc.
Il presente contributo è volto a chiarire la relazione tra terroir e DOC, sia per quanto riguar­da gli aspetti produttivi che la sua componente extraproduttiva (marketing, comunicazione, commerciale, etc.).

Anthocyanins Chemistry During Red Wine Ageing

Anthocyanins are the main pigments present in young red wines, being responsible for their intense red color. These pigment in aqueous solutions occur in different forms in equilibrium that are dependent on the pH

Dormancy conundrum: thermal requirements plasticity to reach budburst may be explained by annual environmental dynamics

Deciphering grapevine dormancy is crucial in the current context of climatic challenges: advancing budburst phenology and increased late frost probabilities, observed in the last decades and expected to further increase, require deeper understanding. Beyond higher mean temperatures, abiotic stresses such as water deficit have also been emphasized as actors. In this framework, we aimed at exploring new methodologies for tracking dormancy cycle and testing the interplay on its regulation of temperature dynamics and drought.
In a first experiment, twenty-one Vitis vinifera varieties were monitored during ecodormancy and budburst over three years.

Yield prediction assessment before bloom and at veraison in a cv. Airén high yielding vineyard in Toledo (La Mancha, Spain)

Anticipation in the possible responses of grapevines to environmental variations is key to adjust field work in view of a more effective management. This idea has been the driving force behind the current work, which seeks to understand the interaction patterns of the vine with its habitat throughout the growing cycle.

Critical investigation on additions to improve the sensory characteristics of dealcoholized wine

The demand for dealcoholized wine has been progressively increasing in recent years. Moreover, the attention for such products is probably increasing even more. Due to that increasing demand and market awareness the legal authorities are about changing rules for that products. Also, at OIV level, these products are being intensively discussed for certain time. The production of dealcoholized wine bases on wine as initial product. This wine is then reduced by physical methods to an alcohol content of less than 0.5% vol., or in other words, to less than 4g/l of alcohol. There are various technologies are possible for producing dealcoholized wine (Schmitt and Christmann 2019).
