Reaarches conducted by dr. Allegro:
- Genetic improvement of rootstock and Vitis vinifera cultivars;
- Evaluation of new Vitis vinifera clones and new resistant hybrids;
- Study of vine physiology, in particular of ripening processes in environmental conditions characterized by thermal and radiative stress;
- Study of the adaptability of grapevine cultivation in the current scenario of climate change;
- Study of cultural techniques aimed to ameliorate grape composition and sanitary status of cluster, in non-limiting environmental conditions;
- Study of the cultural techniques aimed to couple technological and phenolic maturity, under thermal and radiative stress;
- Study of the phenolic maturity in the last phases of berry ripening and its influence on wine mouthfeel;
- Impact of the mechanization of main cultural techniques on vine yield and grape composition.
