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.

Improved analysis of isomeric polyphenol dimers using the 4th dimension of trapped ion mobility spectrometry – mass spectrometry

Dehydrodicatechins have recently received attention as oxidation markers especially in grapes and wine. Their analysis mainly uses LC-MS/MS which is able to differentiate them from their natural isomers (dimeric procyanidins), based on specific fragments

Towards the understanding of wine distillation in the production of brandy de Jerez. Chemical and sensory characterization of two distillation methods: continuous and batch distillation

Brandy de Jerez (BJ) is a spirit drink made exclusively from spirits and wine distillates and is characterized by the use of casks for aging that previously contained Sherries. The quality and sensory complexity of BJ depend on the raw materials and some factors: grape variety, conditions during processing the wine and its distillation, as well as the aging in the cask. Therefore, the original compounds of the grapes from which it comes are of great interest being in most cases the Airén variety. Their relationship with the quality of the musts and the wines obtained from them has been studied (1) and varies each year of harvest depending on the weather conditions (2).

Climatic zoning of viticultural production periods over the year in the tropical zone: application of the methodology of the Géoviticulture MCC system

L’objectif de cette recherche est le zonage climatique des périodes viticoles de l’année dans la Vallée du São Francisco, région brésilienne productrice de vins située en climat tropical semi-aride. Dans cette région, la production peut être échelonnée sur tous les mois de l’année.

Acumulación de materia seca, orientada a valorar la fijación de carbono, en función del aporte de riego y la pluviometría, en Cabernet-Sauvignon a lo largo de 15 años

The vineyard is capable of fixing carbon in its permanent structure from atmospheric carbon dioxide, through the process of gas exchange and the performance of photosynthesis. The photosynthetic capacity of the vineyard depends on the water resources that the plant may have at its disposal, so the amount of dry matter, derived from the processed photosynthates, that it can store will depend on the water regime of the crop, both in the annually renewable organs as in permanent parts.

Soils, climate, nutritive status and production of cv “Palomino fino” in the superior quality area of the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry zone

The Registered Appellation of Origin Mark (RAOM) « Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda » is one of the oldest and more important zone in wine history and production. «Albarizas» unit (white calcareous marls with sea-fossils) is the most representative geological material of the RAOM (75%) and even more in the central-NW area of the RAOM, known as «Jerez Superior» area (Superior Quality Sherry Area). « Albarizas » form undulated hillocks (3-10% slope) and hills (>10% slope), the litologic unit has E-W and S-W direction, and Regosols and Leptosols are the principal soils.
