Caracterización sensorial preliminar de los vinos tintos de la Isla de Tenerife (Islas Canarias, España)

Abstract

En la isla de Tenerife (Islas Canarias, Espafia) existen cinco Denominaciones de Origen (D.O.) con una superficie inscrita aproximada de 5.000 hectareas. Actualmente existen 94 bodegas inscritas en las diferentes D.O., y de estas, 82 elaboran vino tinto. El 65% de las bodegas que elaboran vino tinto estan situadas en la vertiente norte de la isla sobre tres D.O.: Valle de la Orotava, Tacoronte-Acentejo e Ycoden-Daute-Isora. La variedad de uva mayoritaria que se utiliza en la elaboracion de estos vinos es Listan negro (Vitis vinifera L.). La variabilidad fisica-quimica que presentan estos vinos es muy alta debido a la diferencia existente en las condiciones de suelo y de clima de cada una de las diferentes D.O., y también entre las diversas parcelas de cada D.O. Rasta la fecha no se ha establecido un perfil sensorial de los vinos tintos que permita una mejor caracterizacion de las diferentes D.O., asi como, un mejor conocimiento del comportamiento de la variedad Listan negro en las diferentes condiciones de cultivo. Las caracteristicas sensoriales de los vinos han sido estudiadas a través de un analisis descriptivo cuantitativo (A.D.C.) (9). Esta técnica sensorial ha sido utilizada para caracterizar variedades de uva tinta como Pinot noir (3, 6), Cabernet Sauvignon (4, 7), Shiraz (1), Zinfandel (5). En este trabajo presentamos los resultados del primer afio de estudio.

The opportunities offered by the climate change

Based on the results of experiments since 2000 at the Institut Agro Montpellier and at INRAE – Pech Rouge, and on the international experience acquired during scientific missions, a global reflection on the opportunities offered by climate change is proposed.

Consumer perception and preferences regarding grape varieties resilient to climate change

Innovative solutions have been developed for winemakers to adopt in their cultivation practices [1]. Two of the implementations addressed in this study are the use of strains adapted to arid climates (AAC) and the use of varieties resistant to fungal diseases (PIWIs).

Cooling the berries, protecting the vines: techniques for managing grapevines during periods of extreme heat

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2025, Alena Wilson (University of Torino, Alba, Torino, Italy) speaks about techniques for managing grapevines during periods of extreme heat. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION AND COLOR OF ROSÉ WINES: INVESTIGATIONS ON THE MECHANISMS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH DIVERSITY

Color is one of the key elements for the marketing of rosé wines due to their packaging in transparent bottles. Their broad color range is due to the presence of pigments belonging to phenolic compounds extracted from grapes or formed during the wine-making process. However, the mechanisms responsible for such diversity are poorly understood. The few investigations performed on rosé wines showed that their phenolic composition is highly variable, close to that of red wines for the darkest rosés but very different for light ones [1]. Moreover, large variations in the extent of color loss taking place during fermentation have been reported but the mechanisms involved and causes of such variability are unknown.

Unraveling grapevine resilience to water and nutrient limitations

Water and nutrient availability significantly impact crop yield, thus the application of sustainable strategies towards efficient water use and nutrient absorption by plants is needed.
