Le zonage viticole: instrument pour la récuperation d’un ancien cépage des collines de Conegliano (Verdiso – V. vinifera)

Abstract

Dans le contexte viticole actuel, la prise de conscience que chaque cépage ne trouve son expression qualitative maximale que dans certains terroirs bien définis, assume une signification plus importante vu l’effort unanime fourni pour maximiser le résultat oenologique. Des cépages présentant des potentiels d’adaptation réduits, ont encore plus besoin d’un emplacement territorial précis. C’est ce qui s’est passé pour le cépage Verdiso, ancienne variété de la Prov. de Treviso (Italie du Nord-Est), dont la diffusion s’est réduit progressivement au cours des 50 dernières années, partant de quelques milliers d’hectares jusqu’arriver aujourd’hui à quelques centaines à peine. Cela est dû à la fragilité agronomique du cépage, qui n’assure pas toujours une constance productive, sanitaire et qualitative. La recherche d’une durée de trois ans, à travers l’étude de la réponse qualitative du cépage aux variations de la zone de culture, a tenté de mettre en évidence les caractéristiques du milieu (sol, température, pluie, etc.) qui sont les plus adaptées pour obtenir un résultat qualitatif appréciable. Dans ce but, le territoire de culture actuel a été divisé en 5 sous-zones homogènes quant à leur climat, leur origine, l’évolution et l’état actuel du sol. L’évaluation systématique des paramètres du milieu, de ceux productifs et qualitatifs du raisin et de la qualité organoleptique du vin obtenu, a ammené à circonscrire deux sous-zones qui, par rapport aux autres, se sont distinguées grâce à une meilleure qualité du produit. Ce travail a fourni un exemple clair d’applicabilité de la méthodologie des zonages, afin de sauvegarder et relancer un cépage autoctone destiné sinon à se perdre.

Comparison between the volatile chemical profile of two different blends for PDO “Valpolicella Superiore”

Valpolicella is a famous wine producing region located in the north of Verona close to Garda lake and owes its fame above all to the production of two Protected Designation of Origins (PDOs) withered wines: Amarone and Recioto. Nowadays the production of another PDO, Valpolicella Superiore is gaining more attention by the consumers, increasing the interest of the wineries to improve the quality of this wines

NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY FOR THE ESTIMATION OF TEMPRANILLO BLANCO VOLATILE COMPOSITION ALONG GRAPE MATURATION

Grape volatile compounds are mainly responsible for wine aroma, so it is important to know the va-rietal aromatic composition throughout ripening process. Currently, there are no tools that allow mea-suring the aromatic composition of grapes, in intact berries and periodically, throughout ripening, in the vineyard or in the winery. For this reason, this work evaluated the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) to estimate the aromatic composition and total soluble solids (TSS) of Tempranillo Blanco berries during ripening. For this purpose, NIR spectra (1100-2100 nm) were acquired from 240 samples of in-tact berries, collected at different dates, from veraison to overripening.

Extreme canopy management for vineyard adaptation to climate change: is it a good idea?

Climate change constitutes an enormous challenge for humankind and for all human activities, viticulture not being an exception. Long-term strategic changes are probably needed the most, but growers also need to deal with short-term changes: summers that are getting progressively warmer, earlier harvest dates and higher pH in musts and wines. In the last 10-15 years, a relevant corpus of research is being developed worldwide in order to evaluate to which extent extreme canopy management operations, aimed at reducing leaf area and, thus, limiting the source to sink ratio, could be useful to delay ripening. Although extreme canopy management can result in relevant delays in harvest dates, longer term studies, as well as detailed analysis of their implications on carbohydrate reserves, bud fertility and future yield are desirable before these practices can be recommended.

Key odorants responsible for the sensory spaces defining the different aroma potentials of Grenache and Tempranillo grapes

There are yet many gaps in our knowledge about the aroma potential of winemaking grapes and its measurement. Trying to bring some light into this question, a new general strategy based on the accelerated hydrolysis of reconstituted phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs) extracted from grapes has been developed
