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.

Dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae population in spontaneous fermentations from Granxa D’Outeiro terroir (DOP Ribeiro, NW Spain)

Granxa D’Outeiro is a recovered ancient vineyard located in the heart of DOP Ribeiro, where traditional white grapevine varieties are growing under sustainable management. Spontaneous fermentations using grape must from Treixadura, Albariño, Lado, Godello, and Loureira varieties were carried out at experimental winery of Evega. Yeasts were isolated from must and at different stages of fermentation. Those colonies belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae were characterized at strain level by mDNA-RFLPs.
