Franciacorta DOCG sparkling wine interpretation in relation to wine coming from different areas

Abstract

[English version below]

Dans la tradition classique, les vins mousseux sont le produit d’assemblage des vins d’origine différent. La choix de la typologie du moussage (brut, extra-brut, dosage zéro, etc.) généralement est une conséquence des résultats organoleptiques atteints à la fin de le période d’affinement en bouteille. La choix de la liqueur du tirage et de la liqueur d’expédition est considérée un moyen pour particulariser et affirmer le marque d’entreprise, plutôt que mettre en valuer les caractéristiques du territoire de production.
Afin d’étudier les différences territoriales entre Franciacorta, on a réalisé un protocole de production que a prévu l’association des vins du vignoble produits dans le periode 2000-2002 avec profils organoleptiques, basés sur le binomie terroir-cepage.
L’expérience revalorise une remarquable constance des vignobles dans l’expression du pays, justifiant un assemblage que évalue ces particularité.
Les résultats obtenus indiquant aussi, que la variabilité exprimée par les vignobles cultivés dans la même région (sélection de la mésozone o unité vocationalle) est suffisant pour justifier ce approche, en mesure d’évaluer le rôle du territoire d’origine aussi dans le plus variables expressions de vins mousseux.

In the classical tradition the sparkling wines are a blend of wines with different origin. Likewise, the decision of the sparkling process typology “brut, extra brut, zero dosage” is defined from the sensorial results obtained at the end of bottle refinement. So, the choice of the “liqueur de triage” and of the “liqueur de expedition”, is to be considered a way to characterize and affirm the company mark, more than valorize the peculiar characteristics of the production areas.
In order to study the territorial differences of Franciacorta DOCG sparkling wines, in the period 2000-2002 a production protocol associated to the sensorial profile that blend different kind of wines produced in the same area was established. The dynamic concept of site evaluation was applied considering as a whole the system terroir-vine.
The experience outlines a great constancy of the vineyards expressing its own characteristics, when its relative to same area, justifying a blending that increased the value of the peculiar characteristics. The results indicate that the expressed variability from the wines obtained from the vineyards in the same area, justify a way of producing that able to valorize the territory’s importance in all different sparkling processes.

The influence of terroir on the quality of wine of the Cahors A.O.C

Dans le but d’améliorer la qualité et la typicité des vins de l’Appellation d’0rigine Contrôlée CAHORS, une étude a été réalisée afin de mettre en évidence l’adéquation Cépage-Terroir- Qualité du vin.
Selon la méthodologie proposée par MORLAT et ASSELIN (1992), neuf unités terroirs ont été déterminées. Sur chacune, des parcelles de référence homogènes quant au matériel végétal Cot ou Malbec ( cépage principal de cette appellation greffé sur S04, et aux méthodes culturales, ont été suivies au niveau agronomique et œnologique (GARCIA et al., 1996).

Empreinte carbone et environnementale du vin en France : chiffres d’impact et bonnes pratiques à mettre en œuvre

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere due to human activities are leading to a rise in the average temperature of the atmosphere. among the scenarios established by the un’s intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC), only two enable us to achieve the minimum objective of the paris agreements signed at cop 21 in 2015: staying below +2°c after 2050. both scenarios forecast a rapid reduction in GHG emissions as early as 2025, thanks to strong international cooperation, the priority given to sustainable development and responsible consumer choices.

The film-forming Pichia spp. in a winemaker’s toolbox: A simple isolation procedure and their performance in a mixed-culture fermentation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Gewürztraminer must

Certain yeast species belonging to the Pichia genus are known to form a distinctive film on grape must and wine. In a mixed-culture type fermentation, Pichia spp. (P. kluyveri in particular) are known to impart beneficial oenological attributes. In this study, we report on an easy isolation method of Pichia spp. from grape must by exploiting their film-forming capacity on media containing 10% ethanol. We isolated and identified two Pichia species, namely Pichia kudriavzevii and Pichia kluyveri, and subsequently co-inoculated them with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment Gewürztraminer musts. Noteworthy differences included a significant increase in the 2-phenethyl acetate levels with the P. kluyveri co-fermentation and a general increase in ethyl esters with the P. kudriavzevii co-fermentation. Both Pichia co-inoculations yielded higher levels of glycerol in the final wines. Based on all the wine parameters we tested, the P. kluyveri strain that was isolated performed similarly to a commercial P. kluyveri strain.

PROFILING OF LIPIDS IN WINES FROM MONOCULTURE FERMENTATION WITH INDIGENOUS METSCHNIKOWIA YEAST SPECIES

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds essential for living systems. They are vital compounds for yeast which makes them an important modulator of yeast metabolism in alcoholic fermentation. This study presents a comprehensive lipidome analysis of wine samples from the Vitis vinifera L., Maraština. The fermentation trails were set up in monoculture with different indigenous yeast strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes: Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metshnikowia sinensis/shanxiensis , and Metschnikowia chyrsoperlae.

Preliminary study of extraction of polysaccharides from pomace by high powered ultrasonic combined with enzymes

Red grape pomace can be an important source of polysaccharides, but currently they are little studied and even less with viable and environmental extraction processes (green extraction). These green techniques must be able to break the cell wall so that the compounds contained in the cells, including polysaccharides, are released and can have a great influence on extraction yields, the chemical structure of polysaccharides and applications in wines. Amongst the emerging green techniques most applied to the extraction of bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides, high-power ultrasound (US) and enzyme-assisted extraction stand out.
