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.
In-berry tissue distribution and extraction kinetics of phenolics in novel PIWI red-skinned varieties
Although already characterized from an agronomical point of view, the chemical and compositional aspects of new resistant grapevine varieties have limitedly been subjected to in-depth investigation.
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.
