Il sistema vigneto del Lago di Bolsena: caratterizzazione della produzione di Cannaiola di Marta

Abstract

[English version below]

Il comprensorio del Lago di Bolsena (VT) è un territorio ad elevata vocazione vitivinicola in cui il paesaggio della vite storicamente persiste e caratterizza la fisionomia dei luoghi. Qui gli agroecosistemi viticoli possiedono una valenza ecologico-ambientale, storico-culturale ed economica di rilievo. La ricerca condotta ha previsto la caratterizzazione della tipologia delle produzioni e degli ambienti di coltivazione di diversi vitigni locali, in particolare il vitigno autoctono Cannaiola di Marta, con l’obiettivo di salvaguardarne il valore biologico, valutarne la qualità in funzione dei microambienti di coltivazione e il ruolo nella definizione della fisionomia del paesaggio. Mediante indagine cartografica è stata condotta un’analisi diacronica a scala territoriale per evidenziare il ruolo dei vigneti nell’uso del suolo e nella definizione dell’ecomosaico ambientale. In vigneti rappresentativi dell’eterogeneità degli ambienti di coltivazione, il vitigno autoctono Cannaiola di Marta è stato caratterizzato con indagine ampelografia rispetto alla varietà certificata Canaiolo nero. La qualità della produzione è stata rapportata alla tipologia di suolo e alla variabilità fisiografica. Uno studio dell’architettura dei vigneti ha completato l’analisi dei modelli viticoli. I risultati ottenuti hanno evidenziato l’unicità della produzione della Cannaiola di Marta e la particolarità degli ambienti di coltivazione per una qualità superiore. E’ emerso il carattere di vulnerabilità di questa produzione dovuta alla frammentarietà dei vigneti, a fronte di un elevato valore storico-culturale degli impianti. Il sistema vigneto della Cannaiola di Marta si inserisce armonicamente in un ecosistema prezioso per la salvaguardia delle risorse ambientali e paesaggistiche di un territorio fra i più suggestivi del Lazio.

The northern part of the Lazio region, i.e. the area around the Lake of Bolsena, is highly vacated to grapevine production. Since the past, rural landscape has been characterized by vineyards, that represent still today a distinctive trait of this territory. Here vineyards exhibit economical, but also ecological, historical, biological and social functions. Nonetheless, vineyard surface is decreasing dramatically, with evident loss in biodiversity and landscape diversity. The study was carried out in order to characterized through a systemic approach the production of the local variety Cannaiola di Marta and its territorial contest. In order to preserve this production and the related landscape, the germplasm unicity was evaluated, the grape quality was tested in the highly differing physical environments, and the physionomy of the vineyards, as well as that of the rural landscape, was measured through cartographic elaboration. The research has proved that the investigated area is suitable for high quality and unique productions. It is also possible to attribute to these vulnerable vineyards a cultural significance, based on the employment of historic germplasm, on traditional vineyard traits and cultural practices. The viticulture of this territory is included in a equilibrated ecosystem, in which vineyards might preserve the environmental resources of one of the most agreeable territory of the Lazio region.

Partitioning of seasonal above‐ground biomass of four vineyard-grown varieties: development of a modelling framework to infer temperature-rate response functions

Aims: Forecasting the biomass allocation among source and sinks organs is crucial to better understand how grapevines control the distribution of acquired resources and has a great meaning in term of making decisions about agricultural practices in vineyards. Modelling plant growth and development is one of prediction approaches that play this role when it concerns growth rates in response to variation in environmental conditions

Study of the sensory dimension of the wine typicality related to a terroir and crossing with their viticultural and oenological characteristics

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.

AIM: In a recent study, it was determined that the mid-ripening period is the most suitable for the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJ), benzothiadiazole BTH and MeJ+BTH on Monastrell grapes, to favor maximum accumulation of phenolic compounds at the time of harvest. However, the increase in the anthocyanin content of

Characterization of the thiol aromatic potential of a new resistant grape variety: Floreal

Aims: Due to climate change and the desire to decrease enological inputs (organic farming), the vineyard has to be modified and the selection of new resistant grape varieties as an alternative is researched intensively today. From January 2018, four new grape varieties that are resistant against mildew and odium have been added to the official
