Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global wine industry is facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, necessitating innovative approaches to ensure sustainability and maintain wine quality. This Special Issue, titled "Sustainable Viticulture and Winemaking: Adapting to a Changing Climate", will explore cutting-edge research and practical solutions for addressing these challenges. We invite submissions focusing on climate-resilient vineyard management, sustainable winemaking practices, grapevine physiology under changing environmental conditions, the impact of altered terroir on wine quality, and the development of innovative technologies and strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of viticulture and enology. Interdisciplinary studies integrating agronomy, environmental science, and socio-economic perspectives are particularly encouraged. By fostering a global exchange of ideas, this Special Issue will advance the understanding of sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices, offering insights that support both adaptation and mitigation in the face of climate change.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Amino acid composition and nitrogen quantification in grape must are of great importance given their usefulness for varietal characterization, influence on fermentation processes and identification of the aromatic potential of musts. The objective of this work was to determinate the amino acid and nitrogen compound profiles of 30 minority varieties of potential use in winemaking, all grown in the same ampelographic collection in Alcalá de Henares. The concentrations of 31 amino acids in must were identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) during four seasons (2020 to 2023), and the average values of total free amino acids (TAN), yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) and aromatic precursor nitrogen (APN) were calculated for each variety. ‘Tazazonal’, a minority red grape variety, was found to exhibit high concentrations of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN), total amino nitrogen (TAN) and ammonia nitrogen (APN), comparable to those observed in ‘Tempranillo’ and ‘Garnacha Tinta’. These two cultivars are representative of traditional Spanish red grapevine varieties and are among the most widely cultivated in the country. In the case of white varieties, ‘Albillo del Pozo’, ‘Pintada’ and ‘Verdejo Serrano’ showed higher concentrations of these parameters than ‘Malvar’ and ‘Airén’, which are also widely grown in Spain. The results revealed distinct amino acid profiles for each variety, enabling their classification and supporting the identification of variants within the autochthonous germplasm. This approach aimed to highlight minority varieties of potential interest for future studies, given their relevance to both regional and national viticulture. Full article
