Improvement of the red wine AOC Grignolino d’Asti typicality using some technological innovations

Abstract

[English version below]

L’AOC Grignolino d’Asti (20000 hl environ de production) est un vin de la province de Asti, produit avec le raisin rouge du cépage de même nom originaire du Piémont (Nord-Ouest d’Italie). Ces derniers temps l’AOC a enregistré des pertes économiques considérables dues aux caractéristiques peu agréables des vins : couleur (nuances jaune-orangée), l’astringence et l’amertume plutôt évidentes. Le but de ce travail est la valorisation sernorielle du vin dans le respect de sa typicité. Nous avons étudié trois techniques récentes de vinification : la microoxygénation, l’utilisation de préparations enzymatiques, la macération à froid. Également, nous avons défini la typicité et évalué l’acceptabilité de vins du Grignolino d’Asti du commerce, des vins expérimentaux et de leurs témoins. Les résultats de la première année d’étude montrent que les techniques utilisées n’ont pas modifié la typicité du vin, mais n’ont pas apporté d’amélioration qualitative.

 

The AOC Grignolino d’Asti (about 20.000 hl produced) is a red wine of the Asti province; it is produced with the same red grape variety, which is native of Piedmont (North-West of Italy). In the last years it has been observed a drop in its sales, probably due to the unpleasant characteristics of its colour (yellow tones) and to its evident astringency and bitterness. The aim of this work is to improve the sensory characteristics of this wine respecting its typicality. We applied three rew winemaking techniques: the micro-oxygenation, the use of enzymes and the cold maceration. The typicality of this wine has been defined and aiso the acceptability of some commercial wines and of the experimental wines. The results of the first year of studies show that none of the winemaking techniques used improve the quality of this product.

Cabernet-Sauvignon ripening in Chile: follow-up study from 2012 to 2018

Temperature is a relevant parameter during vineyard development, affecting vine phenology and grape maturity. Moreover, the climate of the different Chilean valleys influences the varieties cultivated, the ripening period and the final quality of the wines. The use of growing degree days (GDD) is known worldwide for the study of climate in viticulture regions. However, little is known about the evolution of maturity and the sugar loading stop, based on this parameter.

Novel approaches and promising perspectives for enhancing grapevine editing and regeneration

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering CRISPR/Cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate. However, this process is inefficient, time-consuming, and only applicable to a few genotypes. To enhance grapevine regeneration efficiency, the expression of developmental and plant growth regulators shows promise in escaping the recalcitrance encountered in traditional tissue culture methods.

Direct NMR evidence for the dissociation of sulfur-dioxide-bound acetaldehyde under acidic conditions: Impact on wines oxidative stability

SO2 reaction with electrophilic species present in wine, including in particular carbonyl compounds, is responsible for the reduction of its protective effect during wine aging. In the present study, direct 1H NMR profiling was used to monitor the reactivity of SO2 with acetaldehyde under wine-like oxidation conditions.
