Caratterizzazione delle produzioni vitivinicole dell’ area del Barolo: un’esperienza pluridisciplinare triennale (1)

In interaction with climate and genetic or human factors, the soil is a major component of the viticulture terroir. The mineral composition of the soil influences vine performance and wine sensory attributes. Among the elements that vines take from the soil, nitrogen is the one that has the strongest impact on vine physiology, vigor and grape composition. In addition to its major effect on primary metabolites in berries, nitrogen plays also a decisive role in the secondary metabolism, especially in the production of key compounds for berries quality, like volatile thiols, methoxypyrazines and glutathione (GSH).

En el presente trabajo se ha realizado un estudio comparativo entre los varietales tintos Listán negro y Negramolle en la Denominación de Origen Tacoronte-Acentejo. Se han determinado durante dos años

The intricate relationship between the necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea and grape berries (Vitis vinifera spp.) can lead to the development of either the desirable noble rot (NR) or the unfavourable grey rot (GR), depending on the prevailing weather conditions.

Water nutrition is crucial for wine grape performance. Thus soil investigation aims at characterizing spatial and temporal variability of available water. A possible strategy

Structure-function relationships between the polysaccharide part of S. cerevisiae Mannoprotein Pools (MPs) and their potential to interact with anthocyanins and Protein-Tannins aggregates was previously assessed [1,2].
