Abstract

Although viticulture is now to be found in many different climate regimes worldwide, each grapevine cultivar has its own temperature and water optimums which, if met, allow the vine to complete and produce quality grapes. Indeed, the grapevine is a species that is particularly sensitive to external stimuli, in response to which it can in fact modify to a large extent the growth, yield and quality responses predetermined by its genotype.
