In 2019, we have planted the red variety Manseng Noir, as it has been shown that it is the only sister of the Tannat grape. Tannat was introduced to Uruguay in 1870 from the south-western regions of France.
The integration of sensor systems in viticulture is significantly improving vineyard management by enabling faster, comprehensive crop data collection across the entire vineyard, supporting more informed viticultural decision-making, and as a result promoting sustainability.
The temperature increase related to ongoing climate changes is causing a progressive anticipation of the ripening time, negatively affecting grape quality at harvest.
The combination of Torulaspora delbrueckii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in co-inoculation and sequential inoculation in winemaking was investigated as an innovative strategy to increase the aromatic profile of wines like Verdeca and Nero di Troia wines, two traditional varieties from south-eastern Italy (Apulia Region).
Climate change and rising temperatures present a substantial challenge to viticulture, intensifying summer heat stress and accelerating berry ripening.
The increasing vulnerability of viticulture to climate change necessitates innovative solutions to improve its sustainability and resilience.
Due to varietal factors, the formation of undesirable deposits of flavonols, especially quercetin (Q), occurs in several red wines.
A relevant trend in winemaking is to reduce the use of chemical compounds in both the vineyard and winery.
Driven by the demand for sustainable agriculture, biocontrol is emerging as a crucial alternative to chemical fungicides for crop protection.
The SUSTAIN project aims at assessing the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and vulnerability in vineyard in a climate change scenario.
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.
Climate change (CC) is altering grape/wine composition, leading to challenges in maintaining wine sensory quality.
The study aims to address the issue of resilience to climate change in viticulture through the adoption of the expert knowledge elicitation (EKE) approach.
Context and purpose of the study – Viticulture faces significant challenges due to climate change, with increased frequency of extreme weather events impacting grapevine growth, grape quality, and wine production.
Grapevine is one of the most extensively cultivated fruit crops, playing a crucial role in the economies of many grape-growing regions around the world.
