Clone performance under different environmental conditions in California

Abstract

Clonal evaluation of winegrapes in California has not been extensive. Early selection work by Alley (1977), Olmo (unpublished data) and Goheen (personal communication) resulted in the current collection of virus-tested clones in Foundation Plant Materials Service (FPMS) at the University of California, Davis. However, release of these certified selections was generally not accompanied by publication of viticultural performance or wine sensory attributes. A present day effort to characterize differences among clones of several cultivars has begun (Wolpert et al, 1995), with the objective of determining the viticultural and enological characteristics of winegrape clones. Research to date has centered on certified selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot noir (for sparkling wine) and Zinfandel. In this paper, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Chardonnay performance will be examined in greater detail.

Grape pomace, an active ingredient at the intestinal level: Updated evidence

Grape pomace (GP) is a winemaking by-product particularly rich in (poly)phenols and dietary fiber, which are the main active compounds responsible for its health-promoting effects. GP-derived products have been proposed to manage cardiovascular risk factors, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity. Studies on the potential impact of GP on gut health are much more recent. However, it is suggested that, to some extent, this activity of GP as a cardiometabolic health-promoting ingredient would begin in the gastrointestinal tract as GP components (i.e., (poly)phenols and fiber) undergo extensive catabolism, mainly by the action of the intestinal microbiota, that gives rise to low-molecular-weight bioactive compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Effects Of Injections Of Large Amounts Of Air During Fermentation

Aim: Evaluating the effects of high amount of air injection during red wine fermentation process, on phenolic extraction dynamics, oxygen dissolution, phenolic compounds evolution, and oxidation of red wines.MethodsRed grapes musts were fermented in 100.000 L stainless steel tank, equipped with Parsec SRL “Air mixing” gas injection systems. For this experiment, treatments with two injection regimes, high and low intensity, and high and low daily frequency, were used. Oxygen analyzer was introduced into the tank to evaluate the gas concentration evolution along the fermentation.

Il turismo del vino: dalla logica individuale a quella di distretto

In alcuni lavori condotti alcuni anni or sono, abbiamo analizzato per un verso le tendenze della domanda di prodotti enologici, ed il comportamento del consumatore, e per un altro verso le motivazioni alla base delle scelte dell’enoturista, ovvero di colui che va per vigne e cantine per fruire di risorse enogastronomiche.

Use of mathematical modelling and multivariate statistical process control during alcoholic fermentation of red wine

Cyberphysical systems can be seen in the wine industry in the form of precision oenology. Currently, limitations exist with established infrared chemometric models and first principle mathematical models in that they require a high degree of sample preparation, making it inappropriate for use in-line,
