PEI-AGRI

Recovery, Safeguard and Development of vine biodiversity in Emilia Romagna region

Obiettivi
Objectives

The project aim is to counter the risk of loss of regional vine biodiversity, through agronomic and oenological development of varieties at erosion risk, already members of RegionalRepertory but also increasing knowledge about unknown genotypes with genetic andampelographic characterization.

Activities

The project is composed of 2 work packages. The first work package (Recovery, safeguard and characterization of ancient genotypes) provides activities of reconnaissance, census, genetic characterization and phytosanitary analysis; ampelometric description of motherplants in situ and registration to the regional Repertory. The second work package (Development of local varieties at erosion risk) provides activities of agronomic evaluation of varieties listed in regional Repertory, of realization of new oenological products (varietal oenology) and of development.

Pratice abstract
Description

The expected results are:
- Implementation of the list of registered vine genotypes of Regional Repertory by preparing the necessary materials (A, B, 12 Annexes), expected by current regulations R.L. 1/2008.
- Strategies of agronomic highly sustainable practices for a better management of ancient local varieties, listed in regional Repertory, to safeguard protected areas and not harm aims for which are areas are subjected to a protection.
- Definition of new vinification protocols to enhance grapes intrinsic quality and to obtain products really rappresentative of regional context.
- Development and promotion of some vine varities, registrated in Regional Repertory through realization of traditional local products that highlight qualitative features and the link with origin territory.
- Definition of an approach model to the consumer which allows his education to vine biodiversity themes.
The benefits in vine-wine sector are:
- Increase of regional vinebiodiversity.
- Valorization of vineterritory of Emilia Romagna region.
- Training of technical personnel about aspects of biodiversity safeguard.
- Diffusion of agronomic highly sustainable practices that improve final quality of grapes and innovative vinification protocols.
- Increase of historical, cultural and food knowledges in protected areas by European Community.
- Increase of oenotourism.
