Precision viticultural strategy for managing intra-vineyard variability in grape aroma using UAV-based vigour indices
In several cultivars, such as Gewürztraminer and Riesling, grape and wine aromas are determined by volatile terpenoids.

Development of breeding of PIWI varieties in the Czech Republic
Context and purpose of the study. The Czech Republic is one of the most important grape growers of PIWI varieties in the Europe, as the total area planted with PIWI varieties is almost 1000 ha.
VitiCanopy to measure vine pruning mass and assess above ground vineyard carbon storage
The wine industry is increasingly focused on carbon accounting due to consumer’s demand and the industry’s goal of reducing carbon emissions.
Development of a novel UAV based approach for assessing the severity of spring frost and hail damages in vineyards
A solid feature of climate change is that the frequency and severity of weather extremes are increasing. Ranking European countries for the number of crop failures related to extreme events reports France on top followed by Italy and Spain (COM 2021).
The “green gold” @fem: assessing grapevine germplasm diversity to crossbreed the varieties of the future
Context and purpose of the study. To date over 3,000 grapevine accessions have been collected at Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM).
Clones of 10 Vitis vinifera varieties: degree of inter- and intra-varietal variation and putative mechanisms underlying clonal variability
Context and purpose of the study. Intra-varietal variability for key physiological and oenologically important traits can be exploit in viticulture following the consistently higher environmental pressure driven by climate change.
Using RGB images and LiDAR data to characterise fruit-to-leaf ratios in grapevine collections
One of the main effects of global warming is an increase in the sugar concentration of grapes at harvest time, resulting in wines with a high alcohol content and an unbalanced structure. The fruit to leaf ratio is a key factor in determining the final sugar concentration, and training systems and management techniques can help to control this parameter.
Using Landsat LST data to predict vineyard productivity anomalies: A case study in the Euganean Hills wine region, Italy
In the current scenario of climatic variability, even though the vine (Vitis vinifera) is a species generally considered very fertile, the process of bud differentiation is particularly influenced by the weather trend not only of the current year but also of the previous one.
Applying artificial intelligence for improving grape yield estimation: A case study of wine and table grapes in South Africa
Accurate grape yield estimation is essential for effective vineyard management, crop planning, and resource allocation. Traditional methods often involve time-consuming and labour-intensive processes, which may introduce errors due to the large size and inherent spatial variability of the vineyard blocks.
The effect of short and long-term water deficit on physiological performance and leaf microbiome of different rootstock and scion combinations
Climate change, particularly drought stress, threatens viticulture sustainability. Understanding scion-rootstock interactions and their link to the grapevine microbiome is key to improving vine health, productivity, and drought resilience.
