Viticulture around the world is currently affected by climate change, which is causing an increasing scarcity of water resources necessary for the maintenance of vineyards. Despite the drought hardiness of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), this threat seriously compromises its cultivation in the near...

Vineyards on steep slopes are often the result of ancestral know-how, recognised as a Unesco World Heritage site for their dry stone construction know-how, and are sometimes threatened by the additional costs of producing grapes, the lack of manpower and the tightening of regulations. This type of ...

This study evaluates the organoleptic potential of 205 monovarietal wines made with 51 minority varieties found in Spain. The sensory analysis of 90 white, 6 rosé and 109 red wines produced during the 2019, 2020, and 2021 harvests has been carried out by means of an accredited tasting panel (UNE-EN ...

The Monastrell grape variety is grown in the southeast of Spain for the production of quality red wines, but like many other varieties it is being affected by the consequences of climate change. In his case, the most evident effects result in the decoupling between phenolic and technological...

In order to counteract the various effects of climate change on the physiology of the grapevine and on the quality of the grapes leading to the wine produced, many different approaches have been proposed. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different cultivation techniques on the...

Over the last 20 years in the Pfalz region of Germany, GDD were highest in the vintages 2018-2020. To visualize the effect of climate change for the Pfalz region of Germany, the development of TSS and TAwere documented during Pinot noir grape ripening for the vintages 1998-2021. It was observed...

The Mediterranean basin is regarded as one of the world's most affected regions by climate changes. Traditionally, viticulture in this region has been coping with high temperatures, heat waves and drought. Such particularly extreme conditions, which induce severe abiotic stress on plants, are...

As a consequence of the climate change effects, the chemical composition of wine grapes is being altered, particularly the phenolic components. For this reason, the drought effect on the phenolic composition of an extensive group of white and red varieties grown under a semi-arid continental...

Heat waves and drought stress are typical aspects of current climate change, significantly affecting the grapevine physiology in many world growing areas. Biostimulants can play an important role in reducing the negative effects of climate change; that's why this experiment was set up in order to...

Dryland farming corresponds to "all the measures aimed at allowing cultivation in an arid environment, that is to say in the absence of irrigation and in the presence of low rainfall". For irrigated crops, this technique aims, beyond its strict definition, to use water sparingly, compatible with...
