Il metodo champenoise consiste principalmente nell'operare una doppia fermentazione: la prima del mosto, nel tino, la seconda del vino (ottenuto dalla prima fermentazione), nella bottiglia. Il procedimento di vinificazione prevede numerose fasi. Le uve vengono raccolte manualmente in maniera selettiva, cioè scegliendo solo i grappoli che hanno raggiunto la giusta maturazione, e trasportate alla pressatura cercando di mantenere il più possibile l'integrità degli acini.

  • Powdery Mildew of Grapes
    report on RPD No. 773 PLANT December 2019 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN POWDERY MILDEW OF GRAPE Powdery mildew is caused by the fungus Uncinula necator. This fungus was reported in North America in 1834. Powdery mildew occurs in most grape growing areas of the world. If not managed effectively on susceptible cultivars, the disease can reduce vine growth, yield, quality, and winter hardiness. Cultivars of Vitis vinifera and its hybrids (French hybrids) are generally much more susceptible to powdery mildew than are native American cultivars such a Concord. Symptoms Uncinula necator can infect all green tissues of the grapevines. The fungus penetrate only epidermal cells, sending haustoria into them to absorb nutrients. Although haustoria are found only in epidermal cells, neighboring noninvaded cells may become necrotic. The presence of mycelia with conidiophores and conidia on the surface of the host tissue gives it a whitish gray, dusty or powdery appearance. Both surfaces of leaves of any age are susceptible to infection (Figure 1). _____________________________________________________________________________ For further information concerning diseases of small fruits, contact Dr. Mohammad Babadoost, Extension Specialist in Fruit and Vegetable Pathology, Department of Crop Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. - 2 - Young expanding leaves that are infected become distorted and stunted (Figure 2). Petioles and cluster stems are susceptible to infection throughout the growing season. Once infected, they become brittle and may break as the season progresses. When green shoots are infected, the affected tissues appear dark brown to black in feathery patches (Figure 3), which later appear reddish brown on the dormant canes.

    Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are hybrid varieties right for Oklahoma? Bruce Bordelon Purdue University Wine Grape Team 2014 Oklahoma Grape Growers Workshop 2006 survey of grape varieties in Oklahoma: Vinifera 80%. Hybrids 15% American 7% Muscadines 1% Profiles and Challenges…continued… • V. vinifera cultivars are the most widely grown in Oklahoma…; however, observation and research has shown most European cultivars to be highly susceptible to cold damage. • More research needs to be conducted to elicit where European cultivars will do best in Oklahoma. • French-American hybrids are good alternatives due to their better cold tolerance, but have not been embraced by Oklahoma grape growers... Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation. Profiles and Challenges…continued… • The unpredictable continental climate of Oklahoma is one of the foremost obstacles for potential grape growers. • It is essential that appropriate site selection be done prior to planting. • Many locations in Oklahoma are unsuitable for most grapes, including hybrids and American grapes. • Growing grapes in Oklahoma is a risky endeavor and minimization of potential loss by consideration of cultivar and environmental interactions is paramount to ensure long-term success. • There are areas where some European cultivars may succeed. • Many hybrid and American grapes are better suited for most areas of Oklahoma than
