Climate change is increasingly disrupting viticulture by decoupling technological and phenolic maturity, thereby threatening grape aromatic quality.
Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera L. is a widely cultivated species used for both table grape and wine production.
The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a drought tolerant crop species that can be cultivated without irrigation in dry climates, even with rainfall as low as 350 mm/year.
Climate change is reshaping viticultural regions worldwide, altering temperature regimes, precipitation patterns, and the frequency of extreme weather events.
Open geospatial data and advanced GIS technologies are rapidly transforming terroir science, providing the wine sector with unprecedented capabilities for spatial analysis, monitoring, and decision-making.
Winegrowing has always benefitted from a biogeographical perspective. Sub-appellations, appellations, and larger regions variously delineate and group areas based on their local climate, traditions and cultural practices.
An esteemed expression of vineyard terroir is that, due to an excellent alignment between genotypes and environment, minimal external input should be required to operate an efficient vineyard.
Typicity is a key concept in the world of Geographical Indications (GI) and terroir-driven wines (Leriche et al., 2020; Souza Gonzaga et al., 2021).
Authenticity is attributed when an organisation’s practices credibly represent its genuine identity.
