Selected-Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry: A high-throughput technology to investigate the impact of climate and harvest date on the volatilome of Grenache berries
Climate change is increasingly affecting wine production, leading to substantial variations in wine composition from one vintage to another.
Impact of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and lactic acid bacteria co- and sequential inoculation on the aroma profile of New Zealand Pinot noir wines
The use of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as a malolactic starter in New Zealand Pinot Noir production is a relatively recent development, and its sensory impact compared to the more established choice of Oenococcus oeni remains underexplored.
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.
Preliminary results on allometric shoot measurement for carbon sequestration assessment
To assess carbon sequestration in perennial crops such as grapevine, both the plant’s permanent and annual structures must be measured.
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.
The nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N): exploration of a very large dataset for a better understanding of this indicator in viticulture
Isotopic analysis have been proven to be particularly useful within the wine industry, either for water stress characterization (with the δ13C) or for countering potential wine fraud (with the use of δ18O, δ13C and δ2H) (Santesteban et al., 2014).
Drought Observatory of Alt Penedès: 6 years of water dynamics in rain-fed vineyards in Alt Penedès (Catalonia, Spain) for modelling recommendations to winegrowers
The Mediterranean region stands out as a “hot spot” due to projections of substantial increases in temperature and decreases in rainfall, which would lead to marked decreases in water availability throughout the Mediterranean region.
AgroSpace – space technologies, the driving force of innovation in rural areas
The agricultural sector faces climate challenges such as droughts, wildfires, and extreme heat waves, as well as the need for more efficient resource management and the implementation of sustainable farming practices.
Canopy management and trunk height elevation to adapt to climate change in Beaujolais and Savoie vineyards
In the Beaujolais and Savoie vineyards, climate change led to earlier phenological stages, more frequent episodes of elevated temperatures, and increased vine water deficit.
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.
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.
Evaluation of UV–Vis–NIR model transferability for predicting grapevine water status across Spanish viticultural regions
Climate change is exerting unprecedented pressure on global viticulture, altering precipitation patterns, intensifying drought events, and making efficient irrigation management a critical challenge for sustainable production.
Evaluation of winter pruning mechanization in a Touriga Nacional vineyard: A five-year study in Lisbon wine region
Background: Terroir integrates the sensory attributes of wine with the environmental and human factors that shape grape production, including climate, soil, cultivar, and viticultural practices.
Vineyard dynamic agrivoltaics reduces canopy temperature and can increases soil water content
Marketed as a way to protect crops against increasing temperature and drought induced by climate change while producing sustainable energy, agrivoltaic systems are undergoing a rapid expansion globally.
Using varietal diversity as a lever for adapting to climate change while preserving Bordeaux wine typicity
Climate change is profoundly affecting wine production globally. Increasing temperatures induce advanced phenology, shifting the ripening period to a warmer part of the summer.
Decoding aroma defects: impact of climatic zoning and maturity on Garnacha Tinta grapes and wines across the Pyrenean foothills through a large-scale study
Climate change is increasingly disrupting viticulture by decoupling technological and phenolic maturity, thereby threatening grape aromatic quality.
Genetic characterization of the Serine population for the sustainable Albanian viticulture
Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera L. is a widely cultivated species used for both table grape and wine production.
Visual observation of drought symptoms allows to assess the efficiency of complex drought tolerance strategies in grapevines
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.
Integrating microclimate and crop models to assess vineyard responses to climate change
Climate change is reshaping viticultural regions worldwide, altering temperature regimes, precipitation patterns, and the frequency of extreme weather events.
