摘要:This article would like to propose a methodology for the identification and the characterization of wine local systems, whose identification is preliminary to more deepened and accurate empirical study. The analysis has been lead in Sardinia and used the communal ISTAT dataset. Through the factorial analysis it has been proposed a mapping of the work local systems which were identified as specialized in the wine productions. Subsequently, the discriminant analysis has allowed us to characterize the local systems regarding the rest of the island for what concerns the structural and social order, agriculture and the connected activities. The results have pointed out limits and values of the adopted procedure.
