Innovation in pre- and post-harvest biocontrol: novel strategies against Botrytis cinerea for grape preservation
Driven by the demand for sustainable agriculture, biocontrol is emerging as a crucial alternative to chemical fungicides for crop protection.
Innovative approach to energy efficiency benchmarking in the wine sector
The wine industry, a key sector for the European Union’s economy, exhibits significant energy consumption, amounting to approximately 1,750 million kWh annually within this geographic context, with major contributions from Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal (Fuentes Pila et al., 2015).
Integrating RO concentrate in viticultural irrigation for sustainable urban water reclamation
Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) require precise irrigation to maintain yield and quality, and the increasing use of reclaimed desalinated water for irrigation raises concerns about the accumulation of reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC), a high-salinity byproduct with no sustainable disposal solution.
Investigating the carbon sequestration potential in vineyard soils–the SUSTAIN project
The SUSTAIN project aims at assessing the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and vulnerability in vineyard in a climate change scenario.
Investigation on the potentiality of a biostimulant by Fabaceae tissues and rich in triacontanol to enhance grapevine resilience under drought stress
The primary objective of this research was to investigate the potential benefits of a Fabaceae-based product rich in triacontanol (a long-chain alcohol) applied to Vitis vinifera cv. Merlot, on key physiological and productive parameters of grapevines under controlled water stress conditions.
Laying footprints on a new path: proper accounting of biogenic fluxes makes viticulture carbon neutral
To limit the acceleration of global warming we need to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHG), making our production processes more carbon-efficient and optimizing absorptions.
Mannoproteins extraction from wine lees using natural deep eutectic solvents
Wine lees can be a good source of yeast mannoproteins for both food and wine applications [1,2]. However, mannoprotein extraction from wine lees has not yet been scaled up to an industrial scale, mainly because of the limited cost-effectiveness ratio of the methods employed at the laboratory scale [2].
Membrane contactor: a sustainable technology to remove dissolved oxygen from wine and preserve wine aroma
Oxygen management in wine is one of the most significant challenging issues for winemakers.
Microbial consortia as a tool for sustainable vineyard management: A study on their acceptance among Veneto region’s grape-growers
Sustainability is a key focus in viticulture, where managing abiotic and biotic stress presents a major challenge.
