Enhancing vineyard health and wine quality with Fortisano - plant based approach for improved wine grape immunity
Strong immunity in wine grapes.
Different pathogens in vineyards are a major factor in impacting the taste, quality and spoilage of vines produced from such grapes. Even more so for sparkling wines the foamability is greatly influenced by various microorganisms in grapes used. Poor plant immunity increases costs for sorting and disposal of damaged bunches.
The negative impact of using infected wine grapes in wine production include:
- a risk for enzymatic oxidation, impacting color, flavor and other wine characteristics,
- risk in reduced sugar, acid and polyphenol levels,
- increased risk of problematic alcoholic fermentations,
- presence of moldy character in wine,
- reduced storage stability.
Mostly infection of young shoots, blossoms and leaves occur in late spring during moist conditions. Disease can become visible and develop when the fruits reach certain sugar levels that are required for the fungus to grow.
