Role of climate on grape characteristics of “Moscato bianco” in Piemonte (Italy)

Abstract

[English version below]

L’objectif de l’étude était de connaître le rôle du climat sur les aspects phénologiques du cépage « Moscato bianco » dans les différentes zones de production du vin Moscato d’Asti aocg en Piemonte (Italie) et ses effets sur l’époque de vendange. La représentation cartographique ( échelle 1 :25000) de exposition, altitude, climat, index bioclimatiques, phases phénologiques, caractéristiques physique- chimiques des raisins ( alcool, acidité, pH) a permit de partager la zone de production de Moscato d’Asti en trois sub-zones avec différentes époques de vendange où, entre une précoce et une tardive il y a une sub-zone intermédiaire caractérisée par situations de majeur et mineur précocité .

The study’s purpose was to realize the role of climate on phenological aspects of ‘Moscato bianco’ grapevine cultivar in different production zones of wine Moscato d’Asti docg in Piemonte (Italy) and his effects on vintage time. The cartography display (scale 1:25.000) of different parameters of exposure, altitude, climate, bioclimatic indexes, phenological phases, grape’s quality (alcohol, acidity, pH) allows to zone the Moscato d’Asti production area in three sub-zones: between an early zone and late zone there is a intermediate zone with more or less earliness.

The colour pattern of flower arrangements influence wine tasters’ sensory description

The arrangements of flowers and wine counterparts are inextricably linked. Whether a fundamental aspect of tablescaping or acolytes to broader entertainment rituals, they have an entangled history since ancient times. The aim of this contribution is to verify the influence of visually delicate and robust flower arrangements on individual description of wines. Changes in the sensory description of wines were investigated during subjects’ (thirty-two participants) exposure to three different conditions: the presence of delicate, robust, or totally absent flower arrangements. In each condition, the same two wines were blind tasted: a wine previously defined as delicate – a Pinot Noir from Australia, and a wine known for its robust character – a Tannat from Uruguay.

Investigation on harvesting period choices for correct interpretation of experimental results

Happens too often in scientific papers to find the same harvesting period of a cultivar, although the used treatment influence a maturity curve of investigated thesis.
This inevitably leads to wrong conclusions when comparing the treatment effects, since obtained on maturity stages more or less far from those technologically correct.
