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.

Assessment of the optimal number of observations in the study of vineyard soil (Rigosol)

A study of soil pH on the experimental field resulted in a high variability of pH on a very small scale. This kind of heterogenity in soil pH have effects on growth of two grapevine varieties on rootstock Kober 5BB

Yield formation and grape composition: more than meets the eye 

Fruit quality in grapes is not well defined but is often depicted as correlating inversely with crop yield. Both fruit yield and composition, however, are made from distinct components that interact in complex ways. Reproductive growth of grapevines extends over two growing seasons. Inflorescences initiated in buds during the previous year differentiate flowers and set and develop berries during the harvest year.

LARGE-SCALE PHENOTYPIC SCREENING OF THE SPOILAGE YEAST BRETTANOMYCES BRUXELLENSIS: UNTANGLING PATTERNS OF ADAPTATION AND SELECTION, AND CONSEQUENCES FOR INNOVATIVE WINE TREATMENTS

Brettanomyces bruxellensis is considered as the main spoilage yeast in oenology. Its presence in red wine leads to off-flavour due to the production of volatile phenols such as 4-vinylphenol, 4-vinylguaiacol, 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol, whose aromatic notes are unpleasant (e.g. animal, leather, horse or pharmaceutical). Beside wine, B. bruxellensis is commonly isolated from beer, kombucha and bioethanol production, where its role can be described as negative or positive. Recent genomic studies unveiled the existence of various populations.

Tracing glycosidically-bound smoke taint markers from grape to wine

The increasing frequency of wildfires on the West Coast of the USA is seen as a significant risk for the grape and wine industry. Research has shown that perceived smoke impact in wines correlates with increases in volatile phenols (VPs) in grapes exposed to fresh smoke.

Correlation between agronomic performance and resistance gene in PIWi varieties in the field

Today’s viticulture faces a considerable challenge dealing with fungal diseases and limitations on the use of plant protection products (PPP) have increased the pressure to find more sustainable alternatives. One strategy may be the development and cultivation of disease-resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) that could maintain crop productivity and quality while reducing dependence on PPP. In this work a set of 9 PIWI varieties (5 white and 4 red) deploying genes for resistance to powdery and downy mildew were evaluated in two consecutive years in Valdegón, La Rioja, with Tempranillo and Viura as controls. The objective was to correlate agronomic performance and disease incidence with the presence of disease resistance genes in two different seasons: with (2023) and without disease pressure (2022).
