These influence the plants’ biosynthetic activities and promote biodiversity and qualitative predisposition of either the vine grape and wine. Statement of the Problem: Alto Adige DOC is one of the smallest winegrowing regions in Italy (<1%), but thanks to its geographical location in the middle of the Alps, it is also one of the most multifaceted.

  • Results of Research on the Gewürztraminer Grape Variety in South Tyrol, Northern Italy
    Received: 6 November 2020 y Accepted: 28 January 2021 y Published: 19 March 2021 DOI:10.20870/oeno-one.2021.55.1.4531 Topoclimate and wine quality: results of research on the Gewürztraminer grape variety in South Tyrol, northern Italy Carlo G. Ferretti GIR - Geo Identity Research, Bolzano, Italy *corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to identify the ecological indicators that facilitate predictive analysis and to search for patterns in local geographical information to identify risks and opportunities in viticulture. The study focused on environmental factors that significantly affect the ripeness of the Gewürztraminer grape variety cultivated near Tramin, a village in northern Italy. In particular, the reliability of the new Solar Radiation Identity (SRI) topoclimate classification method was tested, along with its predictive capability in terms of the biosynthetic activity of the vine and the quality of its grapes. The SRI index characterises each vineyard in a precise and comparable way and helps to understand the way in which the topoclimate acts as an important abiotic stress factor for vines. A direct relationship between grape must sugar content and the SRI topoclimate index was observed. Our findings indicate an increase in sugar content of approximately 0.8 °KMW for every 10 points of the SRI index. Thus, a novel prediction model of grape ripening based on an SRI curve analysis is proposed. The correct application of the SRI index could be useful for discriminating and predicting geographical charactersitics of a given area strongly connected to ecological diversity and wine quality. It could support decision making in viticulture in terms of, for example, correctly matching vineyard and grape varieties, reducing wine vulnerability and production risk and predicting optimal ripeness and harvesting days.

Our study aims to understand the relationship between grape (and ultimately wine) composition and the physical appearance and performance characteristics of a vine (i.e. vine ideotype). Our experimental approach controlled these variables by studying within-block differences in vine performance across multiple seasons and vineyards. Grapes were sourced at commercial harvest from 20 single vines from 12 vineyard sites in three Pinot noir growing regions (Central Otago, Martinborough and Marlborough) of New Zealand. Across three vintages yields ranged from 0.1 kg to 6.3 kg per metre, but there was no general relationship between yield and berry soluble solids. On a vine by vine basis normalised yields did not correlate among seasons.
