Biodynamic practice in Vitis vinifera vineyards and the environmental sustainability of the soil
Wine has shown a synergistic effect in a holistic context, and it has been referenced in recent years in several fields such as Medicine which considers it a natural antioxidant.
Soil impact on vines and wines of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Malbec in a high altitude vineyard
The quality of grapes and wines depends on the “terroir”, a concept that in the simplest sense refers to the effects of plant material, environmental factors and canopy management.
Physiological aspects of grapevines cv. Carmem under organic and biodynamic management
Grapevines cv. BRS Carmem (Vitis vinifera X V. labrusca) were managed in organic or biodynamic system and compared for the following photosynthetic parameters: CO2 assimilation, Rubisco efficiency, intracellular CO2 concentration, water use efficiency, Transpiration, and Stomatal conductance throughout a day (9, 12 and 17 h) 15 months after planting.
Composition and extractability of grape anthocyanin glucosides under different environmental conditions: terroir and vintage effects
Two terroirs of the Eger Wine District (a steep-sloped and a flat vineyard) were examined in two years in order to describe the changes in the concentration and composition of berry skin/wine anthocyanins of the Kékfrankos variety at different harvest dates and to examine a possible relationship between the extractability of anthocyanin glucosides and terroir/vintage characteristics.
Guide for agroecology in viticulture, a tool for sector
In 2014, the French public authorities launched the agroecological project for France. This project aimed at starting the transition of French agriculture towards new production systems that are more efficient in the economic, social and environmental dimensions.
Sustainability model: the case of the Guatambu winery
The Guatambu Winery, located in the heart of Pampa Gaúcho, municipality of Dom Pedrito, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, has small scale wine production, with its own grape production and sustainable practices.
Effect of sheep grazing on cover crops, soil health, and wine grape vine performance in a biodynamically farmed vineyard in the North Coast of California, USA
In this study, a 5 ha vineyard planted with annual cover crops was divided into 2 treatments: intensive grazing with lambs (average weight 32 kg) @ 100 animals per ha for 3 days, and an ungrazed control.
Volatile composition of Bonarda wines from different geographical zones of Mendoza (Argentina)
Bonarda (Vitis vinifera L.), also known as Corbeau, is the second most cultivated red grape variety after Malbec in Argentina.
Organic production in Mediterranean areas towards a sustainable viticulture
The successive increase of the average temperature associated with climate change seriously affects the managing of vineyards, in both the vine growth development and the composition and grape quality.

Effect of a biofertilizer on mycorrhizal infection and vegetal nutrition in a vineyard of Mendoza
There are products that contain microorganisms and some are called biofertilizer. These microorganisms, when applied in the soil, can live associated with plants, favoring vegetal nutrition and plant health.
Towards a better understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in adaptation of rootstocks to drought
Water is the main factor limiting yield in viticulture. Vine water status also strongly impacts grape quality.
First evidence of the variability of varietal thiol precursors in Gewürztraminer clones
Much has been already written regarding the gluthationylate (GSH-) and cisteinylate (Cys-) precursors of 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) since the discovery of their presence in grapes and juices.
Boron tolerance in rootstock and varieties of Vitis genus
In the province of San Juan (Argentina), the area of the Jáchal river presents a high potential for the production of grapes used for high quality wines.
