Foliar kaolin residues in grapes and its influence on the alcoholic fermentation process
Kaolin is increasingly used in Mediterranean viticulture as a foliar particle film to mitigate heat and water stress and to control grape leafhoppers.
Terclim 2026 – Session 2: Multi-disciplinary approaches for integrated terroir research
From doom to bloom: unravelling soil – vine nutrient pathways across land-use legacies in BC vineyards
Reducing synthetic fertilizer inputs without compromising yield remains a central challenge for viticulture under climatic and economic pressures.
Genetic diversity of newly recovered marginal grapevine germplasm from Southern Italy for a sustainable viticulture
A study was carried out to investigate the genetic diversity of 120 grapevine samples collected from marginal areas in the Apulia region, using simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers generated by genotyping by sequencing (GBS).
Genomic insights into Apulian wine grape varieties through GBS analysis
The Apulian grapevine varieties NEGRAMARO, PRIMITIVO, and UVA DI TROIA, all autochthonous to the Apulia region, play a pivotal role in the production of several high-quality wines that rank among the most widely exported Italian wines worldwide.
Grapevine hydraulic response to drought is soil texture-specific
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is the world’s third most valuable horticultural crop. Today, climate change significantly threatens grape productivity, notably due to more frequent and extended drought periods.
Harnessing the benefits of kelp extracts to ensure the sustainability of grape production in today’s climate change era
Commercial vineyards encounter various challenges from abiotic and biotic factors, especially as climate change accelerates these issues.
How long is long enough? Robust ranking of commercial grapevine rootstocks and insights for pre-commercial selections from multi-year data
In viticulture, the evaluation of scion varieties and rootstocks relies on multi-site field trials that must be maintained and monitored for several years once the vineyards become productive.
Hydraulic and physiological determinants of drought resilience in Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc under Mediterranean conditions
Sustainability in Mediterranean viticulture increasingly depends on optimizing water use without compromising vine function, yield, or terroir expression.
Hydraulic conductance as an indicator of vascular connection quality in grapevine grafts
Grapevine grafting is a major technique for propagation in viticulture, and its success relies on the formation of continuous and functional vascular connections between scion and rootstock.
Implications of organic mulch composition derived from agriculture and livestock production on grapevine behaviour and microbial communities
Climate change substantially challenges winegrowing regions, threatening terroir stability through heatwaves, altered precipitation patterns, and increased drought frequency.
In-berry tissue distribution and extraction kinetics of phenolics in novel PIWI red-skinned varieties
Although already characterized from an agronomical point of view, the chemical and compositional aspects of new resistant grapevine varieties have limitedly been subjected to in-depth investigation.
In-berry tissue distribution of methyl salicylate free and bound forms in Souvignier gris
In recent years, interest in PIWI grapevine varieties has increased markedly.
Influence of genetic, ontogenetic, and climatic factors on pressure-volume curve traits of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.): A quantitative synthesis
Understanding how grapevines respond to water stress is crucial for adapting viticulture to increasingly variable climatic conditions (Chaves et al., 2010).
Investigation of the biostimulant activity of flavonoids on anthocyanins biosynthesis: from an explanatory approach on Gamay callus towards a future vineyard application to adapt to climate change
Anthocyanins are key phenolic compounds in red wine, playing a major role in colour intensity and sensory quality.
Lightning in a bottle? Wine GIs and disruptive innovation
The original paper, published in International Review of Intellectual Property and Competition Law (Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition & Springer Nature), “examines the intersection of innovation and tradition
