Viticulture and Landscape in the Italian Northwestern Alpine Region

Abstract: Three Northern Italian regions, Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont and Liguria, have specific identities though united by deep geographical and historical common traits. They are traditional wine-growing regions, producing several renowned wines, often in difficult areas. The 'heroic' viticulture, vineyard sites at altitudes over 500 meters (1,600 feet), vines planted on slopes greater than 30% on terraces or embankments, is a cultural element of the wine-growing system in all the three regions, each having a share of mo… Show more

“…Abandonment is the main factor that threatens terraced landscapes, due to a series of causes related to the difficulty of managing terraces and the social, economic, and cultural conditions of rural communities. In recent times, the viticulture practiced on terraced systems has been increasingly associated with the attribute "heroic", underlining the great efforts that this cultivation requires in these particular conditions where mechanization is quite impossible [11]. In Italy, the term was recognized for the first time at the regulatory level with an Inter-Ministerial Decree (no.…”

“…The other path reduces spray drift in one of three ways: using air inclusion nozzles in hydraulic atomization, 6 employing adjuvants to increase droplet size, 7,8 and correctly aligning active nozzles, air flow and spray direction 9,10 . Air‐assisted sprayers have undergone many upgrades, yet still fall short for spraying the steep‐sloped, niche vineyards that predominate in Europe 11–13 . Replacing the knapsack sprayers commonly adopted in these areas is needed to limit farm labour costs 14,15 and operator risk 16…”

“…9,10 Air-assisted sprayers have undergone many upgrades, yet still fall short for spraying the steep-sloped, niche vineyards that predominate in Europe. [11][12][13] Replacing the knapsack sprayers commonly adopted in these areas is needed to limit farm labour costs 14,15 and operator risk. 16 Delivering PPPs in commercial orchards and vineyards via a solid set canopy delivery system (SSCDS) represents a modern version of fixed spray methods promoting sustainability.…”
