11. OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, AND EXPECTED\/ACHIEVED RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wine sector plays a key role in the Portuguese economy, as Portugal is the fifth-largest wine producer in Europe. Wine producers are constantly seeking innovative techniques to differentiate themselves and improve wine quality. One under-explored area is the production of organic wines, even though Portugal possesses unique characteristics for doing so, and wines that exploit and leverage its microbiological genetic resources as a way to add value. MicroBioWines thus presents itself as a unique and innovative project that will thoroughly characterize, from a microbiological perspective, the impact of winemaking processes on the microbial community present both in the vineyard and during cellar fermentation. Only with this knowledge will it be possible to understand how changes in winemaking practices impact the microbiome, and thus assess their real consequences both on the microbial balance in the vineyards and on the quality of the final product. This knowledge is of extreme importance so that, in the short to medium term, it will be possible to transition from an integrated pest management system to organic production. We also aim to determine the impact of the microbiological terroir on the wine.<\/p>\n
