I suggest that you read the following article: Daane, K. M., C. Vincent, R. Isaacs & C. Ioriatti 2018. Entomological Opportunities and Challenges of Sustainable Viticulture in a Global Market. Annu. Rev. Entomol. 63: 193-214. (See my Research Gate)

There are several references to climate changes and viticulture.

I suggest you this book by John Gladstones: https://www.wakefieldpress.com.au/product.php?productid=878

It is quite compact, and several interesting topics regarding viticulture and climate change are very well explained.

On Google search for "Gregory V. Jones (Oregon State University)". Several of his excelllent articles are freely available on the web.

Charles Vincent and Alberto Scotti thank you for your responses! I'm clearly in the beginning stages of research. I look forward to reading your suggestions. Greatly appreciated! - Anna

There are multiple issues in different regions of world. However, tride over frost damage, hailstorms, drought or water stress at fruit development stage, excessive rains particularity near maturity and heat injury to fruits are some of general climate change effects on commercial viticulture.

Dear Anna,

If interested, you can have a look at our Horizon 2020 Project: http://visca.eu/

and to our recent paper titled:

Caccavello G., Giaccone M., Scognamiglio P., Mataffo A., Teobaldelli M., Basile B. (2019). Vegetative, Yield, and Berry Quality Response of Aglianico to Shoot Trimming Applied at Three Stages of Berry Ripening. American Journal of Enology and Viticulture 70(4). DOI: 10.5344/ajev.2019.18079

Abstract

The rise in air temperature due to climate change is causing an increase in sugar accumulation rate in the grape berries and this is resulting in an increase in wine alcohol concentration. Post-veraison leaf area removal (defoliation, shoot trimming) is a suitable canopy management strategy to slow down carbohydrate accumulation in the berries. However, in late-ripening cultivars, the phenological stage between veraison onset and harvest can be very long. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the specific timing when leaf area removal is applied during this stage can affect differently carbohydrate accumulation in the berries having a different impact on berry composition. Therefore, a two-year experiment was designed to compare the responses of Aglianico grapevines, a late-maturing cultivar, to shoot trimming applied at three different stages of berry ripening. The experimental design included: (a) three trimming treatments applied at total soluble solids of 6, 12 and 18 Brix, respectively; and (b) a control treatment (untrimmed vines). Independently of the application timing, shoot trimming decreased berry total soluble solids at harvest compared to control vines, but the later the shoot trimming was applied, the lower was berry total soluble solids at harvest. Shoot trimming did not affect other parameters of berry. These results confirm that, at least for late-maturing cultivars, the timing of application of late shoot trimming plays a key role in modulating the intensity of the effects of this management practice on berry composition.

Kind regards,

Maurizio
