The zoning of the viticulture areas in the Republic of Serbia, based on a detailed study of clirnate, soil and other conditions, which was adopted on the basis of an expert study made in seventies of the XX century, has presented for a long time the basis for the production of wine with GIs and development of the Serbian viticulture and wine production.

With the aim of developing more precise viticulture zoning and after performing study and analysis of climate, soil and other conditions, the first phase would be performed, relatively defining boundaries of all individuaI viticulture units, regions and districts, denominations, varieties and rootstocks, the maximum yield, minimum alcohol content and other characteristics for each viticulture area. The second phase involves the micro-zoning with determination of frost lines, viticulture locations, absolute and elite vineyard parcels and all detailed maps of viticulture areas.

Abstract
The zoning of the viticulture areas in the Republic of Serbia, based on a detailed study of clirnate, soil and other conditions, which was adopted on the basis of an expert study made in seventies of the XX century, has presented for a long time the basis for the production of wine with GIs and development of the Serbian viticulture and wine production. However, in the last tenyears big and important changes occurred in the wine sector in Serbia: these changes, first of all, refer to the surfaces under the vineyards, variety assortments and technology of grape production, the structure of producers, but also to changes in climatic factors, such as certain global warming. All above mentioned, has imposed the need for reform of the Serbian system of geographical indications and updating of viticulture zoning. Accordingly, the Ministry of Agriculture and Italian partners, through the IPA Twinning Project SR 08/IB/AG/02, Capacity Building and Technical Support for the Renewal of Viticulture Zoning and for the System of Designation for Wine with Geographical Indications" together with Serbian and Italian scientific institutions and all relevant stakeholders, started with the creation of new viticulture zoning through two phases of its development (first phase - in order to meet the requirements of the EU in terrns of GIs and the second - in order to specify viticulture zoning and develop micro-zoning). With the aim of developing more precise viticulture zoning and after performing study and analysis of climate, soil and other conditions, the first phase would be performed, relatively defining boundaries of all individuaI viticulture units, regions and districts, denominations, varieties and rootstocks, the maximum yield, minimum alcohol content and other characteristics for each viticulture area. The second phase involves the micro-zoning with determination of frost lines, viticulture locations, absolute and elite vineyard parcels and all detailed maps of viticulture areas.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
