RESEARCH ON CAPITALIZING ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO THE PERIURBAN AREA OF THE CITY OF CRAIOVA THROUGH CULTIVATION GRAPES FOR OBTAINING D.O.C. WINES "BANU MĂRĂCINE"

Abstract

The peri-urban area is located on the border between the urban and the rural environment, it has distinct characteristics that reflect the influences of both types of spaces. The Banu Mărăcine wine area is recognized as part of the wine areas with the widest vocation for obtaining wines with the right to carry the designation of controlled origin (D.O.C). Starting from these considerations, vine growers and especially the specialists from the Banu Mărăcine S.D., try to identify possibilities to maintain at a high and constant qualitative level the specific character of wine production, taking into account the climatic changes that have occurred in the last years. The present paper represents a case study regarding the results of grapevine cultivation in the Banu Mărăcine wine area, located in the peri-urban area of the city of Craiova.
