Appliance of climate projections for climate change study in Serbian vineyard regions
Climate projections considered here are for two periods in the future throughout two IPCC scenarios: 2001 – 2030 (A1B) and 2071 – 2100 (A2) obtained using Coupled Regional Climate
The influence of climate on the grapevine phenology and content of sugar and total acids in the must
For the period of 10 years in the condition of Skopje vineyard area, at two regional (Vranec and Smederevka) and two international (Cabernet sauvignon and Chardonnay) grapevine cultivars, the researches are done.
“Terroir” and climate change in Franconia / Germany
Franconia which is a “cool climate” winegrowing region is well known for its fruity white wines. The most common grape cultivars are Silvaner and Mueller-Thurgau.
Climate change impact study based on grapevine phenology modelling
In this work we present a joint model of calculation the budbreak and full bloom starting dates which considers the heat sums and allows reliable estimations for five white wine grape varieties
Analysis of the daily minimum temperatures variability in the Casablanca Valley, Chile
The Casablanca Valley (CV) has a complex topography and is located near the Pacific Ocean. These factors generate important climatic differences in relation to other wine producing zones of Central Chile.
Analysis of climate spatio-temporal variability in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG wine district
Local climate characterization is fundamental in terroir description, yet global change perspectives raise questions about its feasibility, since temporal stability cannot be no more assumed for the forthcoming years.
Future scenarios for viticultural climatic zoning in Europe
Climate is one of the main conditioning factors of winemaking. In this context, bioclimatic indices are a useful zoning tool, allowing the description of the suitability of a particular region
The adaptative capacity of a viticultural area (Valle Telesina, Southern Italy) to climate changes
The viticulture aiming at the production of high quality wine is very important for the landscape conservation, because it allows to combine high farmer income with soil conservation
Climatic influences on Mencía grapevine phenology and grape composition for Amandi (Ribeira Sacra, Spain)
During the year 2009 we have studied the phenology and grape composition of Mencía cultivar in seven different situations (orientation and altitude) for Amandi subzone
Effect of vine nitrogen status on grape and wine quality: Terroir study in the Vaud vineyard (Switzerland)
This study was conducted on soil-climate-plant relations (terroir) and their impact on grape composition and wine quality in the canton of Vaud by Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil ACW
La protection des terroirs viticoles dans l’AOC Côtes du Rhône (France)
