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.
Ecosystemic services enhanced through regenerative practices in viticulture
Soil health is essential for many ecosystem services in agroecosystems like crop production, climate regulation, and biodiversity conservation.
Portuguese grapevine varieties as a solution to tackle climate change challenges on wines
Portugal has about 250 grapevine varieties, but they could only be useful if tested in vineyards and on winemaking trials.
Long-term dynamics of grape acidity under climate variability: evidence from Chardonnay in Bourgogne vineyard
Recent climate warming has profoundly affected grape composition, with a general decrease in acidity and an increase in must pH widely reported across winegrowing regions.
Application of ethephon induces an increase in berry flavonols leading to an increase in wine blueish hue through copigmentation
Exogenous applications of plant growth regulators are valuable tools to modulate berry ripening and to explore the roles of phytohormones in controlling plant developmental processes.
Why aren’t farmers using precision viticulture frequently? A case study
In the last years, viticulture precision tools have been made available for farmers for different crops.
Physicochemical characterization of Cabernet-Sauvignon red wines from two Brazilian winegrowing regions
This research presented the characterization of physicochemical composition of Cabernet Sauvignon red wines from 2021vintage, produced in two of the largest wine regions in Brazil, namely Vale do São Francisco (Tropical region) and Serra Gaúcha (Temperate region).
Vineyard Carbon Footprint in warm-temperate humid terroirs: the case of Uruguay
Climate change is one of the main challenges for global viticulture, and mitigation strategies involve assessing and reducing the environmental footprint.
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.
Microterroir modulation by shading nets alters the canopy energy balance influencing vine physiological status and berry physicochemical parameters
Currently, the use of shading nets is an increasingly adopted strategy to reduce excessive solar radiation and canopy thermal stress within the Chilean wine industry.
From terroir to turmoil: business model innovation for climate adaptation in French wineries
This study investigates how wineries are adapting to climate challenges by not only modifying vineyard practices but also transforming their overall organization, knowledge, and value creation strategies (Jolink & Niesten, 2026).
Morphology and evaluation of bunch compactness in biotypes of cv. Bobal
Bunch compactness is a relevant factor influencing the grape composition, which consequently affects wine quality.
Screening local grapevine germplasm for resistance to powdery mildew
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is one of the most widely cultivated perennial crops in Italy; however, most of cultivars are susceptible to powdery mildew, a major fungal disease caused by Erysiphe necator.
Exploring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi effects on grapevine growth under nutrients deficiency
Among the key factors defining the terroir, soil nutrient dynamics play a pivotal role in shaping grapevine growth and yield.
Ruled from above, grafting success rates are more controlled by the scion than the rootstock
Grafting is essential for the cultivation of many horticultural crops. Consequently, nurseries play a crucial role in assuring horticultural crop multiplication.
Demonstrating the effect of plant water potential-based deficit irrigation on grapevine (cv. Shiraz) in an arid climatic region
Plant water potential has long been used as an indicator of plant stress in various crops, including grapevines.
Using reclaimed water to irrigate a Mediterranean vineyard: isotopic insights into the depth of water uptake and its physiological and agronomical effects
In many traditional wine-growing regions of Europe, most of the vineyards remain rainfed.
Ecophysiological and metabolic effects of different canopy management on Erbaluce vines trained to the pergola system
During the 2023 productive season, we carried out an experimental test on the white berry variety Erbaluce, an autochthonous cultivar from Piedmont, to evaluate the ecophysiological and metabolic effects caused by different green pruning approaches.
Physiological responses to drought in four grapevine cultivars grown in the La Mancha wine region
In the La Mancha wine region, grapevines are regularly exposed to drought and heat waves, while the necessary water resources to mitigate these effects are becoming increasingly scarce.
Knowledge, awareness, and perception of terroir and wine modifications for climate change: A survey among Sommeliers in Apulia Region (Italy)
The global wine sector is currently confronting a critical period of uncertainty regarding production consistency and quality due to the accelerating effects of climate change.
