Characterization of the DOC wine “Colli Piacentini Gutturnio” obtained in three traditional areas

Abstract

The poster presents the results of the 3rd year of activity of the project “Characterization of the wine productions of the italian regions. The DOC wine Colli Piacentini Gutturnio”. The project was activated by means of pubblic funds (Mi.P.A.F. and Emilia-Romagna Region funds) and thanks to the coordinating activity of the Experimental Institute for Viticulture of Conegliano (TV), the Experimental Institute for Oenology of Asti and the Centro Ricerche Produzioni Vegetali (CRPV) of Faenza (RA), that involved also other local and national Institutions to carry out the research.
The work concerned the “zoning” of the typical production area of the v.q.p.r.d. wine “Colli Piacentini Gutturnio”, that results from the vinification of Barbera (55-70%) and Bonarda (30-40%) cultivars, grown in the hilly area of Piacenza (Emilia-Romagna region) and, particularly, in three river valleys: Val Tidone (zone A), Val Nure (zone B) and Val d’Arda (zone C).
The examination of the environmental characteristics (soil, climate) and of the vine-growing aspects led to the identification of ten homogeneous sub-zones (5 in A, 2 in B and 3 in C), from which samples of Gutturnio wine of the “vendemmia” 1998 have been taken. The aim was to define the sensorial characteristics of the same wine obtained in different zones with their own climate and kind of soil.
The wines were taken from different winery, so they included the variability due to the different environment in which the grapevines were grown, but also a certain variability due to non-uniform tecnologies in wine-making.
The wines were submitted to chemical, sensorial and instrumental (by “Electronic Nose”) analisys.
The “Electronic nose” system is an instrumental apparatus able to produce, simulating the Mammalia sense of smell, electric signals that are quantified; then the data are submitted to multicomponent analysis. So the “Electronic Nose” can allow the recognition, distinguition and classification of wine odours.

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.

Effects of abscisic acid treatment on Vitis vinifera L. Savvatiano and Mouchtaro grapes and wine characteristics

Grapes development is determined by grape cultivar and vineyard climatic conditions and consequently affecting the phenolic and aroma on grapes and wines. Abscisic Acid (ABA) plays a key role in the promotion of fruit ripening and fruit anthocyanin content. Herein, we report the impact of ABA to grape ripening and wine quality.

Grapevine cane pruning extract enhances plant physiological capacities and decreases phenolic accumulation in canes and leaves 

Vine cane extracts are a valuable byproduct due to their rich content of polyphenols, vitamins, and other beneficial compounds, which can affect and benefit the vine and the grapes. This study aims to evaluate the response of grapevine plants to irrigation with water supplemented with a vine cane extract, both at physiology response and phenolic composition in different parts of the plant (root, trunk, shoot, leaf, and berry).
Cane extract was obtained by macerating crushed pruning residues with warm water (5:1) and pectolytic enzymes. Two-year-old potted plants were irrigated with water (Control) while others were irrigated with cane extracts, either at 1:4 (w/v, cane extract/water; T 1:4) or at 1:8 (w/v, cane extract/water; T 1:8).

Effects of the biodynamic preparations 500 and 501 on vine and berry physiology, pedology and the soil microbiome

In the pursuit of increasing sustainability, climate change resiliency and independence of synthetic pesticides in agriculture, the interest of consumers and producers in organic and biodynamic farming is steadily increasing. This is in particular the case for the vitivinicultural industry in Europe, where more and more producers are converting from organic to biodynamic farming. However, clear scientific evidence showing that biodynamic farming improves vine physiology, vine stress resilience, berry or wine quality, or is more sustainable for the environment is still lacking although this issue has been addressed by several research teams worldwide.
