The scientific approach to terroir and the origin of wine is complex, as many variables can be linked in different ways. This requires the collaboration of several research groups with different but complementary skills.<\/span><\/p>\n The main objective of the project is to identify and understand the key factors that contribute to the differentiation of wines from different regions depending on geoclimatic, microbiological and human variables, using the Slovene blaufrankich wines as an example.<\/span><\/p>\n The detailed objectives of the project are:<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the Geological Survey, the project also involves the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia as the lead partner and the University of Nova Gorica.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Project phases:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>DS1 - Defining the diversity of Slovenian blaufrankich wines from different wine-growing areas\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n Objective: In DS1, we will define the chemical and sensorial properties of blaufrankich wines and identify markers characteristic of four wine-growing areas (v. o.) for blaufrankich wines.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/span>DS2 - Understanding geo-climatic influences on the geographical origin of wine (terroir)\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n Objective: To understand the response of the grapevine to environmental signals, which are reflected in the changed composition of the grape, which consequently affects the expression of terroir in wines.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n
