The Italian Nursery Industry
ITALIAN NURSERY
6. Estimate of varieties in 2025
Therefore, in table 1.15 Estimate of hectares per variety in 2025, the trends of the 90 varieties are speculated for 2025.
The resulting data from the algorithm used by the authors is utile for chain operators. It can derive that the Vineyard Italy in 2020 for wine grapes will certainly lower surface to 560,000 hectares with a varietal distribution concentrated on a few varieties, however, the basis of QWPSR (Quality Wines Produced in Determined Regions = V.Q.P.D.), engine and pride of Italian vine-growing and enology.
The historical sequence began in 1971, the year the basic rules were applied, as it deals with specific statistical data observed by the designated bodies.
It is appropriate to highlight certain aspects that have influenced nursery production:
The same age plants of the Italian Vineyard.
Insufficient renewal (replanting) and the consequent decline of vineyard surface area.
The tendency to increase the amount of grafted rootlings destined for export; this favors the reconstruction of vineyards in East European countries that, due to the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, had abandoned viticulture.
An inadequate market vision, in some cases, which has led to the production of surplus material, with the consequent decapitalization of the sector, given the collapse of sales prices of grafted rootlings well below production costs.
The nursery industry must set itself a range of probability (trend) to avoid, on the one hand, the destruction of value, and on the other, the investment of new resources in fields of scion and rootstock mother plants that do not meet the needs of the Italian vinegrowing and wine-producing system.
