Enological characters of thirty vines in four different zones of Tuscany

Abstract

In the last few years the development of HPLC techniques together with multivariate statistical methods allowed to set methodics of large discriminant and classing efficacy in the study of wine-grapes.
The phenolic compounds (cynnamic acids and anthocyanidins) in thirty different wines grown in 4 different zones of Tuscany (Arezzo, Grosseto, Pisa and Lucca) have been analyzed by HPLC.
The analytical data were statistical worked out by two analysis ACP and a linear discriminant analisys in order to discriminate the four zones, using Fisher linear function.
The stepwise technique, to choose variables, pointed out the delphinidin-g, the peonidin-g, the ratio of three/two-sostituited anthocyanines, the sum of cis and trans-cutaric acids, the caffeic acid and the ratio of caffeic acid and the sum of cutaric acids among the most important.
Then we worked out 6 comparisons between two zones and exactly AR/LU, AR/PI, AR/GR, LU/PI, LU/GR and PI/GR.
The environment discriminant threshold, the differences, the discriminant functions of vine-variety in every zone and the measure of discrimination errors were obtained.
Therefore a vinevariety-environment interaction is quite probable.

The Australian geographical indication process

The first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788 and brought grape vine cuttings with them. As migration to Australia continued to grow during the XIX Century more and more vine cuttings, viticulturists and winemakers from Britain, France, Germany, ltaly, Switzerland and Yugoslavia founded their businesses.

Fingerprinting as approach to unlock black box of taste

The black box of taste is getting unlocked. The starting point is to distinguish taste from tasting. Consider taste as a product characteristic; tasting is a sensorial activity. Consequently, taste can be studied on a molecular level and therefore be assessed more objectively, whilst tasting is a human activity and by definition subjective.

Screening sensory-directed methodology for the selection of non-saccharomyces wine yeasts based on perceived aroma quality

The present work contributes by developing a rapid sensory-directed methodology for the screening and selection of high quality wines with different sensory profiles Therefore, Verdejo and Tempranillo musts were fermented with 50 different yeasts each under controlled laboratory conditions. Resulting samples were firstly categorized according to five levels of quality by a panel of wine professionals (Sáenz-Navajas, Ballester et al. 2013). Higher quality samples were described by flash profiling by a semi-trained panel
(Valentin, Chollet et al. 2012) and most distinctive samples were screened by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) (López, Aznar et al. 2002).
