Abstract
A definition of the term “Sustainability” few specifications (technique, economic, environmental, social, existential, ethical, global, meta-ethical) able to explain several aspects for which a viticulture can be considered sustainable. Viticulture is involved by all these implications over the technologies utilized along all the stages of the production and marketing chain. Intensification of cultivation, strategy of territory valorization, land use, mechanization, genetic improvement and labor exploitation are examined. Moreover the development of biodynamic cultivation is critically discussed to offer a clue as to understand how the consequent techniques of cultivation are compatible and sustainable with the requirement of the viticulture production and wine market. It may be argued that some discrepancy between the general definition and the application of the techniques in viticulture exist, arising several implications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
