Cabernet-Sauvignon adaptability to different soil structure and depth under dry climatic conditions
In addition to climatic conditions, soil structure and depth are important factors in vine cultivation and production.
Biogenic amines in wine produced from raisins of Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot cvs.
Biogenic amines in wine, can produce negative effects on aroma, moreover, in some cases, detrimental health effects.
Assessment of factors affecting berry composition and wine characteristics by chaid analysis
This paper describes a statistical method based on a tree classification to identify variables determining sensorial characteristics of wines.
Assessing rootstock influence on scion performance using reciprocal grafts of Phylloxera resistant cultivars differing in vine vigor, phenology and cold hardiness
The impact of rootstock on scion performance was analyzed to test: 1) the effect of root system on the vigor of the scion and 2) the interaction between environment and genetic control of the scion on the above- ground phenological parameters
Applicability of mechanized pruning to new grape cultivars from Serbia
Because of a shortage of trained manual labor felt in recent years, a study has been undertaken to assess the applicability of mechanized pruning to several new cultivars in Serbian vineyards.
An outlook of a successful business: the controlled denomination of origin Conegliano Valdobbiadene – Prosecco
Over the last decade, the production Prosecco has dramatically increased. Exports have increased as well reaching countries all over the world.
An integrated multi-scale monitoring approach to understand the relationships between climate, agricultural practices on grapes quality
Meteorological and micro-meteorological variables play an important role on the growth-yield response of grapevine and as a consequence on quality of productions.
Adaptive mechanisms and productive response of Sangiovese vines under early water deprivation
In 2005 and 2006, twenty 3-year-old potted vines of cv. Sangiovese were subjected to two water regimes: well-watered (90% of maximum water availability) and water-stressed from fruit-set to veraison (40% of maximum water availability).
A wireless sensor network for precision viticulture: the N.A.V. system
In the last decade the application of wireless monitoring systems found large use in precision viticulture in order to understand vineyard variability, and therefore suggest the appropriate management practices for improving wine quality.
A simple two-compartment water balance model to manage cover cropped vineyards
In cover cropped Mediterranean vineyards, a major difficulty is lo properly manage the two crops with respect with the competition for the soil resources and the variability of climate.
A profile of the wine tourist of the Vini del Piave Route
The analysis presents the results of an interview investigation to reveal the main features of tourists driving along the Vini del Piave Route in Veneto Region. The sample relates to 64 operators who are all members of the renewed Vini del Piave Route.
A multiple criteria assessment approach for evaluating the sustainability of innovative cropping systems in viticulture
Novel cropping systems should be evaluated with respect to their contribution to sustainable development, i.e., their environmental impacts, economical performances and social acceptability for farmers.
“Great chain: urgent necessity the focusing on the “metaethical” viticulture or “great” viticulture: research and various considerations
Using the Bellussi, Sylvoz, Guyot, and the Royat spur cordon production global models in the “Vini del Piave” DOC (denomination of controlled origin)
Multidisciplinary research to select new cultivars adapted to climate changes
The predicted changes in global climate are of concern to the agriculture of many plant crops including the grapevine. The main environmental parameters to be affected are carbon dioxide atmospheric concentration, temperature, light radiation, water availability and potential evapotranspiration.
The development of the viticulture for a high-quality tropical wine production in the world
A lot of grapes are produced in the tropics, but only a little part is used to winemaking, what represents some million liters of tropical wines produced per year. The present industry of tropical wine production began 30 years ago.
Use of chemometrics to characterize tropical wines from different vintages and grape cultivars according to the 1H NMR spectroscopy data
Tropical wines have been produced in Northeast of Brazil since 1980’s, between the 8o and 9o S latitude, in a region called Sub-middle São Francisco river Valley.
Polyphenolic and chromatic characterization of tropical red wines produced in the São Francisco River Valley (Northeast Brazil)
Young varietal and experimental wines from Vitis vinifera – Petit Verdot, Tempranillo, and Syrah – cultivated in a tropical semiarid region (Northeast Brazil) were evaluated with regard to their phenolic composition and chromatic characteristics during a storage period of 12-month.
Root growth dynamics and effects on whole plant growth in three rootstocks under low water availability conditions
Grapevine is a landscape forming crop which, due to the quality and taste demanded by consumers, as well as the different agronomical practices, could be vulnerable to global change effects.
Water and nitrogen effects on carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of field-grown grapevines under a Mediterranean climate
Water and nitrogen effects on carbon isotope composition were studied in a factorial experiment over 2 years (2009–2010). Two irrigation (I: 100% of crop evapotranspiration and NI: nonirrigated) and three nitrogen (N) levels (N0, N6 and N12: 0, 60 and 120 kg N ha-1 respectively)
Grapevine reproductive performance in a hotter climate
In the 2009/2010 growing season undervine tents (a passive, open system) were used to increase daytime temperature by 3-5 oC over ambient during the growing season. Four grapevine cultivars (Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Shiraz) were assessed for reproductive performance under these conditions.
