This book draws on an eight-year study carried out in the DOCG
Prosecco area of Italy, a wine region known worldwide. It is unique
in the sense that it is based on one of the most comprehensive
investigations into terroir zoning ever performed in Italy. By
drawing attention to the complex interrelations between
environmental and human factors that influence the growth and
production of the Glera grape, the study illustrates the distinct
correlation between a wine and its 'terroir'. It shows that the
morphology of the sites, the meso and microclimate, the soil, the
grapevine planting density, the trellising system, the yield of the
vineyard, and the vine water status in the summer lead to unique
combinations of grape maturity, acidity, and aroma that ultimately
influence the sensory properties of the wines produced.
Furthermore, the book details numerous technical and agronomic
considerations, specific to the "Glera" grape variety, for
different production strategies, including a section on the impact
of climate change on cv "Glera" phenology. "The Power of the
Terroir: the Case Study of Prosecco Wine" represents a valuable
resource for anyone involved in studies or research activities in
the fields of viticulture, climatology, agronomic sciences or soil
sciences, but is also of interest to vine growers, professionals in
the wine industry, and wine enthusiasts in general.
