Rootstocks are key to sustaining yield, wine style, and vineyard resilience under increasing climatic variability.
Advancing sustainable viticulture at the regional level: lessons from a Swiss winegrowing landscape
Wine producers in Switzerland face the dual challenge of high production costs and increasing competition from inexpensive imported wines.
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.
Cover crops and conservation tillage can improve under-vine soil microbial communities without compromising yield and quality
In the recent decades, vineyards have been managed using herbicides and intensive tillage to eliminate competition of adventitious vegetation for resources.
Long-term effects of integrated, organic and biodynamic management on above- and belowground performance and drought resilience of grapevines
Agricultural sustainability requires production systems that maintain yields while preserving soil health and ecosystem functions.
Investigation of grape skin thickness and grape skin lipid content for differences in smoke taint composition
A plant’s cuticle layer is an external waxy barrier to the lipid membrane and the plants first line of defense.
Agroclimatic characterization, aromatic composition and sensory profile of wines from Torontel grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) grown under warm climate and arid conditions (Ica, Peru)
Torontel (Vitis vinífera L.) is an autochtonous Peruvian grape variety1 issuing from the crossing between Listan Prieto and Muscat of Alexandria, which were introduced to South America by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century.
Combining soil management and nitrogen fertilisation to optimize vine nutrition in Swiss vineyards
In the pursuit of more sustainable viticulture, many winegrowers have drastically reduced nitrogen (N) fertilisation and abandoned chemical weed control in favour of permanent grass cover.
Could mobile viti-photovoltaic panels shading mitigate worst climate change effect on wine quality? Example of Merlot vineyard located in the Bordeaux winegrowing area
The consequences of climate change represent a real challenge for viticulture.
Evaluating the economic effects of agrivoltaics in vineyards: A driver-based approach
The integration of agrivoltaics (APV) in vineyards can reduce climate and production risks while also generating electricity.
Investigation on the effects of terrain slope and elevation on chemical features of wine within the PDO Prosecco area in Veneto region (Italy)
The terroir can be considered as a well-defined area where natural conditions such as geomorphology of location, climate, ventilation, sun exposure, rainfall quantity and distribution, and humidity contribute to the production of a wine that is specific to that area and identifiable through the characteristics of the territory of origin (Bonfante and Brillante, 2022).
Chemical and sensory characterization of sparkling wines from coastal British Columbia, Canada
Climate change presents major challenges to global wine production, as rising temperatures and extreme weather events impact vine health, yields, and grape composition (van Leeuwen et al., 2024).
Exploring the crue of Prosecco: insights from the Rive
The hilly territory of Conegliano Valdobbiadene is the historic area where Prosecco has developed and gained international recognition.
The renaissance of PGI vineyards in the region Île-de-France: A journey into the future of potential terroir
Over the last decade, the liberalization of EU regulations on planting rights has stimulated the emergence and development of local vineyards in regions where professional vineyards almost disappeared since WWII (Meloni and Swinnen, 2016).
