Implementation of viticulture zoning studies in DOP "Gioia del Colle" in Apulia Region

Abstract

The old world and the new world wine-making philosophies tried to explain wine quality with role of nature and organoleptic characteristics of the wine. Among the various environmental factors specifically, c1imate and soil are the most important factor on viticulture zoning due to its direct effect on wine development and wine quality. The implementation at locallevel of GIS (Geographic Information System) could play a key factor to define some parameters in order to create homogenous zones. Main objective of the work is create a thematic database with a GIS implementation that can have some innovative aspects based on geomorphological, climatic, soil and land use ofthe area. GIS is able to analyse, design and create a set of descriptive indicators ofterritories characteristics, using spatial interpolations to create specific maps of studi ed area. GIS tool some other data can be compared such as the immediate characteristics of grapes, in order to understand the best suitable areas for the production of quality wines. According to data, the GIS tool has defined some parameters based on geomorphology and pedology, c1imate and other more specific measurements such as Winkler index, Huglin index and Evapotranspiration. As a result it allow us to get a computerized recording ofthe zoning, shows the crossing of different levels of information, such as texture, and c1imate and some other information. The study has been carried out in Italy, in Puglia Region. In the AOC "Gioia del Colle" on Primitivo variety. Results of the GIS tool, shows that some areas of the denomination of ori gin can bave similar characteristics in terms of climate values, soil quality and cultivar characteristics. These information have been confirmed from Winkler index, Huglin index and Evapotranspiration measurements .. Thirty-two fields have been selected according to density and age and some chemical and physical parameters have been analysed in 2013 in order to characterize their poliphenolic composition.
