Microbial Terroir Under Post-Harvest Management: Linking Withering Practices to Grape Microbiome and Metabolome Dynamics in Corvina Grapes
Grape-associated microbial communities are key contributors to wine quality and microbial terroir, yet their dynamics during withering, a critical post-harvest stage for premium sweet and fortified wine production, remain poorly characterized. Using high-throughput metabarcoding (16S rRNA and ITS), we monitored bacteri...
