Bronner 2019 Bronner 2019 “Bronner" is the name of this fungus-resistant (PIWI) white wine grape variety. Here a "Vitis Vinifera" was crossed with the resistant Asian variety "Vitis Amurensis" - a cross from Merzling (again a cross from Riesling x Grauburgunder) with Zarya severa and Saint Laurent. Thanks to their resistance to fungal diseases, the number of interventions in the vineyard can be reduced to a minimum. The Bronner not only impresses with its wonderful drinking flow with mineral aromas reminiscent of Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon, but also supports Elena Walch's commitment to sustainable viticulture. “Our Bronner impresses with a clear, strong straw yellow color with slightly green reflections. The nose combines complex, intense fruit aromas including apples, ripe pears and white peach with spicy herbal notes and a touch of thyme. The palate is youthful and fresh, inviting, mineral and juicy with a fruity texture and invigorating fresh finish.” VINTAGE 2019 The 2019 vintage presents itself as a classic Alto Adige vintage, albeit a smaller harvest. Starting with a warm spring, there was a delayed increase to higher temperatures after a cooler April and May. Harvest began the second week of September, two whole weeks later than in 2018 and our historic Alto Adige starting time. This enabled the grapes to benefit from the praised "golden Alto Adige autumn" with warm days and cool nights. In particular, the vineyards at higher altitudes, where maturation is attained later, were able to benefit from the very best weather conditions in late autumn. VINIFICATION After harvest, the grapes are carefully pressed. The fresh must is statically clarified at low temperatures and then gently fermented at a controlled temperature of 20°C in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast. The young wine matures in stainless steel tanks for six months on the fine lees.

Owing to the superior quality of their grapes, these cultivars were long considered the only suitable for the production of high quality wines. However, the lack of resistance genes to fungal diseases like powdery and downy mildew (Uncinula necator and Plasmopara viticola) makes it necessary the application of huge amounts of chemical products in vineyard. Thus, the search for alternative and more sustainable methods to control the major grapevine pathogens have increased the interest in new disease tolerant varieties. Chemical characterisation of these varieties is an important prerequisite to evaluate and promote their use on the global wine market. The aim of this project was to produce a comprehensive study of some promising new disease tolerant varieties recently introduced to the cultivation by identifying the peculiar aspects of their composition and measuring their positive and negative quality traits.

  • Genetics-Assisted Breeding for Downy/Powdery Mildew and Phylloxera Resistance at Fem
    BIO Web of Conferences 12, 01020 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/bioconf/20191201020 41st World Congress of Vine and Wine Genetics-assisted breeding for downy/powdery mildew and phylloxera resistance at fem S. Vezzulli, L. Zulini, and M. Stefaninia Research and Innovation Centre, Fondazione Edmund Mach, via E. Mach 1, 38010 San Michele all’Adige, Italy Abstract. The genetics-assisted program for resistance to biotic stresses began at the Edmund Mach Foundation in 2007 and has developed on two lines. The first line was based on obtaining resistant materials with parents the historical varieties of Trentino. During the three-year period 2015–2017, 3 Teroldego X Merzling genotypes, 3 Marzemino X Merzling genotypes, 1 Nosiola X Bianca genotype and 1 Nosiola X Kulneany genotype were collected the data related to resistance to various fungal diseases both on the leaf and on the bunch. At harvest the plant production data and the must characteristics were recorded; the grapes were vinified and for each year the wines were subjected to sensorial analysis. 5 resistant selections were considered interesting for all the characteristics found and therefore the data for the registration to the National Register of Grapevine Varieties will be collected. The second line of research was based on the retrieval and both genotypic and phenotypic characterization of potentially parental lines acquired from foreign breeding programs and of wild materials. Once the crossings have been planned and obtained, the evaluation of the progeny takes place following a process of Marker-Assisted Selection optimized in order to maintain a compromise between efficiency and cost containment.

Several genotypes have been patented and admitted to cultivation; however, while their tolerance to fungal diseases has been the object of several in vitro and field studies, their productive and fruit composition traits during ripening are still poorly explored, especially in warm sites. In this study, five white pathogen-resistant varieties (PRV) listed as UD 80–100, Soreli, UD 30–080, Sauvignon Rytos, Sauvignon Kretos were tested over two consecutive seasons in a site with a seasonal heat accumulation of about 2000 growing degree days Citation: Frioni, T.; Squeri, C.; Del (GDDs), and their performances were compared to two Vitis vinifera L. traditional varieties, Ortrugo Zozzo, F.; Guadagna, P.; Gatti, M.; and Sauvignon Blanc.

As a matter of fact it was 11/12/2014! • We visit Germany at least once a year. We always try to visit some new regions and vineyards. • I am always surprised how many good wines are available. Generally they are all reasonably priced. • I sourced all the wines we will taste from Surdyks in Minneapolis. Great luck for the club, the fall sale was on and all wines were 20% off. German Wine - fun facts • 90% of German wines are consumed in Germany. • Very few wine retailers in America have a good selection of German wines. • Most of the largest white producers are still too small to export to USA. • Many cooperatives blend and ship Liebfraumilch , Gewürztraminer , and some Riesling on the low end of the market. • As vineyard owners die the vineyards are split between siblings. Some vineyards get down to 3 rows. Siblings take turns picking the center row from year to year. • High quality German Riesling does not come in a BLUE BOTTLE ! • I don’t recall ever seeing a BLUE BOTTLE while in Germany. German Geography • Germany is 138,000 sq mi or 357,000 sq km • Germany is approximately the size of Montana ( 146,000 sq mi ) • Germany is divided with respect to wine production into the following: • 13 Regions
