Determinazione della frazione aromatica dei vini, quale strumento per-la valorizzazione del territorio viticolo

Abstract

[English version below]

La caratterizzazione della frazione volatile aromatica dei vini attraverso l’analisi quali­quantitativa dei diversi composti, ha portato corne primo risultato la netta differenziazione delle annate in prova.
Dalla relazione tra analisi sensoriale e analisi chimica, è poi risultato che, per il vino Soave, esteri etilici e acetati sono i composti organoletticamente più importanti e responsabili del-l’aroma fruttato floreale. Alcoli e acidi sono apparsi invece meno utili e sicuri nella caratte­rizzazione varietale e ambientale. E’ quindi importante per ogni vino conoscere i composti aromatici tipici e i loro responsabili analitici, sulla base poi della quantificazione di questi ultimi sarà possibile una caratterizzazione ambientale.

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the volatile aromatic components of wine has produced, as a first result, a net differentiation of the years being tested.
From the correlation between sensory and chemical analysis we have also found , for Soave wine, that acetates and esters are the most important sensory components; they are responsable for the fruit and floral aromas of wine.
However, alcohols and acids have shown to be less useful in varietal and environmental characterization. It is therefore very important to know, for each wine, the typical aromatic compounds and their chemical composition, and based on their quantification it is possible to value the environment.

The 1000 grapevine genomes project: Cataloguing Australia’s grapevine germplasm

Grapevine cultivars can be unequivocally typed by both physical differences (ampelography) and genetic tests. However due to their very similar characteristics, the identification of clones within a cultivar relies on the accurate tracing of supply records to the point of origin. Such records are not always available or reliable, particularly for older accessions. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides the most highly detailed methodology for defining grapevine cultivars and more importantly, this can be extended to differentiating clones within those cultivars.

CHARACTERIZATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF YEAST BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES RELEASED DURING FERMENTATION AND AUTOLYSIS IN MODEL WINE

Aging wine on lees is a consolidated practice during which some yeast components (e.g., polysaccharides,
proteins, peptides) are released and solubilized in wine thus, affecting its stability and quality.
Apart from the widely studied mannoproteins, the role of other yeast components in modulating wine
characteristics is still scarce. Wine peptides have been studied for their contribution to taste, antioxidant,
and antihypertensive potentials. However, the peptides detected in wine can be influenced by the
interaction between yeasts and grape components.

Influence of harvest time and withering length combination on reinforced Nebbiolo wines: phenolic composition, colour traits, and sensory profile

Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG is a reinforced dry red wine produced in the mountain area of Valtellina alpine valley (North Italy), using ‘Nebbiolo’ grapes that undergo a withering process. This process impacts on the grape composition due to a sugar concentration and changes in secondary metabolism influencing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polyphenols.

The Australian geographical indication process

The first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788 and brought grape vine cuttings with them. As migration to Australia continued to grow during the XIX Century more and more vine cuttings, viticulturists and winemakers from Britain, France, Germany, ltaly, Switzerland and Yugoslavia founded their businesses.

OTA DEGRADATION BY BACTERIAL LACCASEST

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are described as multicopper oxidase enzymes with copper union sites. Among their applications, phenolic compounds’ oxidation and biogenic amines’ degradation, have been described. Besides, the role of LAB in the toxicity reduction of ochratoxin A (OTA) has been reported (Fuchs et al., 2008; Luz et al., 2018). Fungal laccases, but not bacterial laccases, have been screened for OTA and mycotoxins’ degradation (Loi et al., 2018). OTA is a mycotoxin produced by some fungal species, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus sp., which infect grape bunches used for winemaking.
