PEI-AGRI

Digital platform for sustainable management and improvement of viticultural terroir

Obiettivi
Objectives

The project develops an online digital platform including cartographic information layers on soil, and conceptual models helping wine growers properly manage soil in their vineyards. Final results is a detailed digital map for the 280 pilot hectares, available on an online platform with associated decisional models. Other wineries or wine growers’ consortia in Tuscany region will be able to use this structure and replicate the pilot model.

Activities

The project develops in two pilot areas: Montefioralle in Chianti Classico and Val di Cornia in Maremma, sharing similar needs and opportunities. In these two areas the project involves in the pilot 16 wineries (in all 280 hectares), consisting in in-depth analyses, varied soil management based on DSS, and quantitative and qualitative monitoring on plants and products for at least 2 growing seasons. Innovation will be introduced in the wineries with technical seminars in both areas, and with training actions (short-term classes and practical workshops).

Context

Viticulture in Tuscany represents about 8% of UAA but produces about 30% of the regional agricultural income. Impact of viticulture on the habitat is generally high, as morphology, hydrology and soil characteristics are often modified to enable agricultural practices. Also, viticultural areas are often in hilly locations, more prone to soil erosion. A proper soil management when designing new vineyards and during their whole lifetime is crucial to guarantee that viticulture is environmentally sustainable, of high quality and terroir-related.

Pratice abstract
Description

An online digital platform including cartographic information layers on soil, and conceptual models helping wine growers properly manage soil in their vineyards. After a preliminary collection of territorial information layers already developed in Tuscany region, the project develops in two pilot areas, Montefioralle in Chianti Classico and Val di Cornia in Maremma, sharing similar needs and opportunities. Land zonings and terroir identification are still limited, both in Val di Cornia but also in Chianti Classico, with no defined land zoning at wine growers’ consortium level. Wine producers show a strong interest in developing specific competences and engaging in local network actions on this theme.
