Water status, nitrogen status and leaf area/ crop ratio effect on aromatic potential of vitis viniferaberries : example of Sauvignon blanc

Abstract

[English version below]

Les effets de l’état hydrique et de l’alimentation en azote sur le potentiel aromatique des raisins de Sauvignon blanc ont été mesurés sur des vignobles du Bordelais. Les déficits hydriques ont été caractérisés par le potentiel tige déterminé en milieu de journée ΨTmin)­. L’alimentation en azote a été étudiée à partir d’une zone carencée en azote. Une part de cette zone a été supplémentée avec de l’azote minéral. La teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des raisins varie avec l’état hydrique de la vigne. Comparés à une alimentation en eau non limitative, les déficits hydriques modérés exercent une influence positive sur la teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des raisins. La correction de la carence en azote a entraîné une forte augmentation des teneurs en précurseurs cystéinylés et en glutathion dans les baies. Inversement, cet apport d’azote a induit une diminution de la teneur en composés phénoliques Un rapport surface foliaire sur rendement élevé exerce une influence positive sur la teneur en précurseurs cystéinylés des baies.

Water status and nitrogen status influence on berries aromatic potential of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sauvignon blanc have been surveyed in Bordeaux vineyard. Vine water deficit have been measured with the determination of midday stem water potential. Nitrogen status have been surveyed on the basis of deficient vines. Sorne of the vines have been fertilized with mineral nitrogen. S-cysteine conjugates, precursors of the volatile thiols have been determined. Berries precursors content is under the dependence on vine water status. Moderate water deficits have a positive effect on the berries precursors content. The Correction of the nitrogen deficiency provoked a strong increase of berries precursors and glutathion content, whereas the phenolic content decreased. A high leaf area / crop balance has played a positive influence on the berries precursors content.

Agroclimatic characterization of Monreale DOC appellation for vine growing

This paper presents the results of an agroclimatic study of the viticulture area called DOC Monreale (Pa), Italy, which was carried out with the aim to supply a working instrument supporting viticulture planning.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Phenolic extraction and dissolved oxygen concentration during red wines fermentations with Airmixig M.I.™

During red wine fermentation, the extraction of phenolics compounds and sufficient oxygen provision are critical for wine quality [1,2]. In this trial, we aimed at evaluating the kinetics of phenolic extraction and dissolved oxygen during red wine fermentations using the airmixing system. Twenty lots of red grape musts were fermented in 300.000 L tanks, equipped with airmixing, using two injection regimes (i.e., high and low intensity, and high and low daily frequency). An oxygen analyzer was introduced into the tanks in order to record the concentration of dissolved oxygen over time.

The effect of management practices and landscape context on vineyard biodiversity

Intensification is considered one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss in farmland. The more intensive management practices that have been adopted the last decades, contributed to species declines from all taxonomic groups. Moreover, agricultural intensification has led to an important change of land use. Complex, mixed agro-ecosystems with cultivated and non-cultivated habitats have been converted to simplified, intensive and homogeneous ones with severe effects on biodiversity.

Volatile compounds of base wines for the production of Lessini Durello sparkling wine

AIM Durello is a sparkling wine produced in the Lessini mountains near Verona. The wine is made from Durella grapes, a native white grape variety with a particularly high acidity. In spite of the small production area (375 ha for only 35 producers), there is a growing interest in this product. However, little is known about the aromatic profiles of these wines. The aim of this work was to characterize the aroma profile of Durella base wines suitable for the production of Lessini Durello sparkling wine. METHODS 14 base wines from Durella grapesfrom different producers were used for this study. Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) sampling techniques coupled to GC-MS analysis allowed to identify and quantify a total of 62 volatile compounds. RESULTS Durello base wines showed relatively high levels of vitispirane, ß-damascenone, ß-citronellol and esters.
