In the old-world viticulture autochthonous varieties are an important inheritance because they can provide wines with authenticity and distinction.

Two vineyards were monitored for the possible occurrence and spread of viruses in natural conditions. Both plots were previous vineyards and were re-planted with clonal vines of the wine cultivar Nebbiolo.

12 University of California Foundation Plant Services (UCFPS) registered clones of Sauvignon blanc were compared in a trial planted in Hopland,

In Australia, grapevine rootstocks have been adopted to provide protection against soil borne pests, in particular nematodes and, to a lesser degree, phylloxera which is only found in a few regions.

The use of different rootstocks leads to variable grapevine responses in most vineyard areas of the world.

Increasing the number of retained nodes after pruning is used by the wine industry to inexpensively manipulate the yield of grapevines.

Alcohol is one of the unhealthiest components of the wine and, many times, it is the main cause of rejection by the consumer, choosing lower alcoholic beverages as an alternative.

Merlot vines grafted to four different rootstocks at a cool climate vineyard in South Eastern South Australia were used to evaluate their effect on reproductive development.

The optimization of water management at farm level may be achieved with the use of physiological indicators which, integrating soil and climatic conditions, allow to determine crop water status.

The objective of this study was to analyze different ripening disorders of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries manifested as shriveling of the pericarp by dissecting their morpho-anatomy, shriveling nature, and composition.

In a field trial installed at the Centro de Estudos Vitivinícolas do Dão, Nelas, Portugal, the effects of three irrigation treatments on the agronomic behaviour of cv Touriga Nacional (Vitis vinifera L.) were studied during three growing seasons (2006-2008).

The leaf removal is a farming practice that can lead to different effects in terms of must and grape quality; it is closely related to the meteorological conditions of the year and the climate of the area.

With the aim to identify possible alternative pollinators of Lambrusco di Sorbara grown in San Prospero (MO), an experimental trial was carried out in the years 2008 and 2010.

This work describes the accumulation pattern for 13 rare earth elements (REEs) in Vitis vinifera L. cv Chardonnay leaves from bloom to leaf fall.

The aim of this project was to analyze the effect of deficit irrigation on the quality of grapes and wines in two different environments in Piedmont (North Western Italy).

In the world wine scenario, the Italian viticulture, is the only case for the highest number of grapewine varieties, with over 350 autochthonous cvs.

The influence of moderate irrigation on grape quality and agronomic behaviour of the vine has been studied along the period 2006-2009 in Fermoselle (Zamora),

Crop load adjustment by cluster thinning has been used in traditional vineyards in order to regulate yield and to improve chemical composition of the berries.

Syrah is a promising red variety for production of quality fine wines in the Brazilian Southeast.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of antitranspirant film-forming Vapor Gard® (VG, active ingredient di-1-p- menthene) sprayed during berry ripening on the canopy of Sangiovese grapevines
