Genotype-environment interaction of three cultivars of vitis vinifera L. cultivated in two different environments of the Ischia island: effect on production and quality; aspects of the quality of the obtained wines

Abstract

Pendant une période de trois années le comportement productif et qualitatif de trois cépages tous indigènes de la région de Campania (Italie méridionale) dans deux terroirs de l’île d’Ischia a été étudié; ceci pour obtenir quelques indications préliminaires sur le comportement productif et qualitatif des cépages et sur la qualité des vins. Les résultats obtenus indiquent la non-existence de facteurs limitants pour la culture de tous les cultivars testés dans les terroirs considérés. Le comportement des cépages et la qualité des vins obtenus la plupart du temps ont été plus influencée par le «facteur cépages» que par le «facteur terroir». Le vin de Biancolella a été catalogué comme «acceptable». Greco et Fiano comme «bon».

During a three year period the productive and qualitative behaviour of three grapevines, all native of the Campania region (Southern ltaly), in two distinguished environments of the Ischia island it has been studied, with the aim to obtain some preliminary indications on the productive and qualitative grapevines behaviour and on the quality of the obtainable wines. The results indicate the nonexistence, for all the tested cultivars, of limiting factors their cultivation in the considered environments. The grapevines behaviour and the quality of the obtained wines mostly were influenced by the “grapevine factor” than by the “terroir factor”. Biancolella wine was categorised as “acceptable”, Greco and Fiano as “good”.

Dissecting the dual role of light regarding the plasticity of grape physiology and gene regulation through daylength simulation in a semi-arid region

Context and purpose of the study. Daylength is a key climatic factor within the terroir concept. However, the complex interplay of multiple variables in regions with varying daylengths makes it challenging to isolate and investigate this specific factor.

Identification of aroma markers in amarone wines

Amarone is an Italian red wine produced in the Valpolicella area, in north-eastern Italy. Due to its elaboration with withered grapes, Amarone is a rather unique example of dry red wine. However, there is very limited data so far concerning the volatile composition of commercial Amarone wines, which also undergo a cask aging of 2-4 years before release. The present work aims at characterizing the aroma composition of Amarone and to elucidate the relationships between chemical composition and sensory characters. The analysis of 17 Amarone commercial wines from the same vintage (2015) was carried out by means of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and extracted by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME). In addition, the sampled wines were subjected to a sensory evaluation in the form of sorting task.RESULTS: 70 volatile compounds were successfully identified and quantified, 30 of which were present in concentrations above their odor thresholds in all the samples. Using the odor activity value (OAV), the compounds that potentially contribute to Amarone perceived aroma are b-damascenone, ethyl and isoamyl acetate, ethyl esters (hexanoate, octanoate, butanoate, 3-methybutanoate), 4-ethyl guaiacol, 3-methylbutanoic acid, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), eugenol, massoia lactone, 1,4-cineol, TDN, cis/trans-whisky lactone. In certain samples, high OAVs were also observed for 4-ethyl phenol and 1,8-cineole.Results from the sorting task sensory analysis showed three clusters formed.

Pioneering dynamic AgriVoltaics in viticulture: enhancing grapevine productivity, wine quality and climate protection through agronomical steering in a large-scale field study

Context and purpose of the study. Climate change threatens traditional winegrowing regions, with about 90% of areas like southern France at risk by the end of the century due to heatwaves and droughts.

The current state and prospects for the development of viticulture and winemaking in Greece

Viticulture in Greece is the oldest, but in recent years there has been a reduction of areas intended for the production of wine products. The article contains data on viticulture in Greece. Over time, the land of Greek vineyards is fluctuating. There is a trend towards a decrease in areas in connection with the quota of products from the EU.

Red wine astringency: evolution of tribological parameters during different harvest dates

Astringency is a specific oral sensation dominated by dryness and puckering feeling and is one of the leading quality factors for red wines, as well as some fruit products
