Zoning for drinking, tasting the territory place (“Great Zonation”): first considerations and methodology

Abstract

Following the idea of « Grande Filiera » (GF) (Great chain), of « Grande Zonazione » (GZ) (Great Zonation), of “interpretation, estimation and valorisation of vineyards and wines landscape, of “qualities”(we have classified more than ninety), of quality economy.
Following the rich existing bibliography on organoleptic analyses and estimation of one wine, one product, as already publicised, we think it is somewhat limitative and unsatisfying to assign one price, to evaluate one product only and only in function of quality or for example of organoleptic evaluation and/or eno-chemical.
In the present paper we want to give an innovative contribute (maybe too innovative), philosophical, methodological, in order to evaluate one product, for example wine, also (I could say particularly) for what it represents outside of the bottle content.
Consequently for us, and probably not only for us, for example a bottle content should be evaluated, drank for getting high of a territory, for delighting, for “TASTING” and enjoying, drinking the territory, “PLACE” of origin, which as already publicised by us (Cargnello G. 1997), comprises all its resources: pedological, climatic, vitivinicultural, cultural, and coltural, monumental, hystorical, environmental, human, commercial…etc…: and for more information and completing the “filiera” consult: Cargnello G., 2003.
Naturally going beyond wrapping, stamping and else.
If its true, as its true, what above explained, zoning should be done, in order to taste and enjoy the territory while drinking wine, and TASTE A PLACE of provenience in its globality and in “filiera” taking account at least of the product (organoleptic quality), of consumer (preference and price), of producer (profit), of respect and protection of the environment in the whole sense and thus in particular way to “Taste a place” of product provenience; as concretises by information methodology CIMEC presented with success at international level.
This is philosophical and methodological “innovative” contribute we would like to concretise in a so called “GREAT ZONATION”, approaching PLACE of origin of wine to wine and zonation, in order to drink and TASTE the territory.

Addition of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort to obtain different Italian Grape Ales

Nowadays, the recovery of secondary resources of wine industry is insufficient and the developing of new products and adjuvants from secondary raw materials could become a relevant sector of research. The re-use of byproducts derived from winemaking could improve the sustainability of wine industry and give additional value to other food industries

INSIGHTS ON THE ROLE OF GENES ON AROMA FORMATION OF WINES

Yeast secondary metabolism is a complex network of biochemical pathways and the genetic profile of the yeast carrying out the alcoholic fermentation is obviously important in the formation of the metabolites conferring specific odors to wine. The aim of the present research was to investigate the relative expression of genes involved in flavor compound production in eight different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains.
Two commercial yeast strains Sc1 (S.cerevisiae x S.bayanus) and Sc2 (S.cerevisiae) and six indigenous S. cerevisiae strains (Sc3, Sc4, Sc5, Sc6, Sc7, Sc8) isolated during spontaneous fermentations were inoculated in Assyrtiko and Vidiano grape must.

From precursor identification to the study of the distribution of 3-methyl-2,4-nonanedione in red wines and spirits

Prematurely aged red wines are marked by intense prune and fig aromatic nuances that dominate the complex bouquet that can be achieved through bottle aging.

Radiative and thermal effects on fruit ripening induced by differences in soil colour

One of the intrinsic parts of a vineyard “terroir” is soil type and one of the characteristics of the soil is it’s colour. This can differ widely from bright white, as for some calcareous soils, to red, as in “terra rossa” soils, or black, as in slate soils.

Enological technics to enhance the aromatic qualities of white spirits 

Eugenol has been identified as a quality marker in armagnac white spirits. In particular, those produced from the Baco blanc variety, the only hybrid variety authorised in a French PDO, bred since 1898 from noah (vitis labrusca x v.riparia) and folle blanche (v. Vinifera). The varietal compound of Baco blanc, eugenol has many original properties.
