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.

Coming of age: do old vines actually produce berries with higher enological potential than young vines? A case study on the Riesling cultivar

Consumers and the wine industry tend to agree on the ability of old vines to produce fruit that allows the production of wine of superior character. However, despite past and ongoing research, objective evidence of this point of view is still debated and studies on robust, specifically dedicated plots are scarce. Thus the impact of grapevine age on berry oenological potential and wine quality remains an open question. To try to objectively address the issue, a unique vineyard was established at Geisenheim University, Germany. It was planted in 1971 with cv. Riesling grafted on 5C Teleki. In 1995 and 2012, several rows were uprooted and replanted with the same rootstock/scion combination, resulting in a vineyard with alternate rows of identical plant material, but with different planting dates. The parameters of technical maturity and grape composition at harvest were analyzed during seasons 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 combining HPLC and enzymatic methods. Separate micro-vinifications were made for each age group and wine composition was analyzed by a combination of 1H-NMR and SPE-GC-MS.

Legal and economic evolution of the Japanese wine industry in the 21st century

Historically bounded by strict regulations with a focus on taxation since the 19th century, the japanese wine industry stands at a crossroads in the 21st century, necessitated by alignment with international standards and opening towards global markets.

Interest in measuring the grape texture to characterise grapes from different cultivation areas – Example of Cabernet franc from the Loire Valley

A two-bite compression test was applied on Cabernet franc grapes during two harvest seasons. The evolution of the texture parameters from véraison to harvest was studied and a new mechanical ripeness notion was introduced.

Using Landsat LST data to predict vineyard productivity anomalies: A case study in the Euganean Hills wine region, Italy

In the current scenario of climatic variability, even though the vine (Vitis vinifera) is a species generally considered very fertile, the process of bud differentiation is particularly influenced by the weather trend not only of the current year but also of the previous one.
