Reviews

“This book is a fascinating journey into the viticultural world and biodiversity, jealously guarded by man starting from the Mediterranean, in the oceans, islands and continents. The authors narrate the symbiosis of man and Vitis, the most generous genus, in which rural and scientific knowledge are admirably reflected and fruitful technological innovations ripen. The reading invites, with a look at the past, to appreciate the inestimable values preserved in the wine-growing landscapes and, at the same time, look with confidence to the future, inspired by the search for harmony between man and nature.” – Adamo Domenico Rombolà, Professor of Viticulture, University of Bologna, Italy

“The book “Vitis: Biology and Species” provides an interesting and comprehensive overview of viticulture in different producing regions of the world, including different species and new technologies applied to characterize them. Addressing scientific questions for experts and professionals, but in a clear and accessible way, this book will also help technicians, producers and the general public to find answers to several aspects involving the modern cultivation of vines.” – Professor Dr. Regina Vanderlinde, Institute of Biotechnology – University of Caxias do Sul, RS, Brazil, and President of O.I.V. – International Organisation of Vine and Wine
