The evolution of italian vine nursery production over the past 30 years

Abstract

Italy has a long history of viticulture and has become one of the world’s leading producers of vine propagation material. The Italian vine nursery industry is today highly qualified and has become highly competitive on a global scale. The quality of the material is guaranteed by compliance with european union regulations, which have been in force since the second half of the 20th century and have subsequently been supplemented and updated.  This study presents and analyses data on propagation materials produced by the italian nursery sector over a period of more than 30 years (1990-2023). The data demonstrate a significant increase in the volume of material produced and reveal some trends in the most widely propagated varieties. Total plant production increased by more than threefold from 1990 to 2023, from approximately 40 million plants to over 141 million. Furthermore, it is possible to identify specific production trends for certain varieties, such as glera (formerly prosecco), which exceeded 18 million plants produced in 2017.

L’évolution de la production de pépinières viticoles italienne au cours des 30 dernières années

L’Italie a une longue histoire de viticulture et est devenue l’un des principaux producteurs mondiaux de matériel de multiplication de la vigne. L’industrie italienne des pépinières viticoles est aujourd’hui hautement qualifiée et est devenue très compétitive à l’échelle mondiale. La qualité des matériels est garantie par le respect de la réglementation de l’union européenne, en vigueur depuis la seconde moitié du 20e siècle et qui a été complétée et mise à jour par la suite. Cette étude présente et analyse les données relatives aux matériels de multiplication produits par le secteur italien des pépinières sur une période de plus de 30 ans (1990-2023). Les données montrent une augmentation significative du volume de matériel produit et révèlent certaines tendances concernant les variétés les plus répandues. La production totale de plantes a plus que triplé entre 1990 et 2023, passant d’environ 40 millions de plantes à plus de 141 millions. En outre, il est possible d’identifier des tendances de production spécifiques pour certaines variétés, telles que la glera (anciennement prosecco), qui a dépassé les 18 millions de plantes produites en 2017.

L’evoluzione della produzione vivaistica viticola italiana negli ultimi 30 anni

L’Italia ha una lunga tradizione vitivinicola ed è diventata uno dei principali produttori mondiali di materiale di propagazione della vite. La filiera vivaistica viticola italiana è oggi altamente qualificata ed è diventata altamente competitiva su scala globale. La qualità del materiale è garantita dal rispetto delle normative dell’unione europea, in vigore dalla seconda metà del xx secolo che sono state successivamente integrate e aggiornate.  Questo studio riporta ed esamina i dati relativi ai materiali di propagazione prodotti dal settore vivaistico italiano in oltre 30 anni (1990-2023). I dati dimostrano un notevole aumento del volume di materiale prodotto e alcune tendenze nelle varietà maggiormente propagate. La produzione totale di piante è più che triplicata dal 1990 al 2023, passando da circa 40 milioni di piante a oltre 141 milioni. Sono osservabili andamenti produttivi specifiche per alcuni vitigni, come glera, che nel 2017 ha superato i 18 milioni di piante prodotte.

Phenolic composition and physicochemical analysis of wines made with the syrah grape under double pruning in the Brazilian high-altitude cerrado

Wine growing has proven to be a development opportunity for agribusiness in several new regions of brazil, including the federal district. There are more than ten existing wineries, established in the last five years. Through the double pruning system, which consists of trimming the growing shoots in the summer and positioning the ripening of the fruits in a cooler period of the season, the grapes are sought to ripen more completely. The syrah variety has shown excellent adaptation to this cycle management model.

Evaluation of Acıkara (Vitis vinifera L.) native grape variety of anatolia for red wine production potential

The acıkara grape variety, a nearly forgotten native black variety in Anatolia/Turkey, has recently gained interest in its potential for producing high-quality wine from producers and consumers. The potential of producing high-quality red wine from the Acıkara grape variety (vitis vinifera), which is cultivated on the elmalı/antalya in the highland (1100 m altitude) of western mediterranean region, was investigated, and the suitability of the wine’s characteristics associated with high-quality red wine was determined.

Evolution of the metabolic profile of grapes in a context of climate change

In the current context of global climate change, anticipating the evolution of the oenological potential of emblematic grape varieties of regions such as Burgundy and Champagne is a guarantee of the sustainability of a sector which has considerable economic weight. however, if various models of climate change cast doubt on the sustainability of these grape varieties in these regions, appellation decrees, as well as consumer expectations, do not allow or consider the use of alternative grape varieties. In addition, control/compensation methods such as irrigation are also not permitted.
