Observatoire du Grenache en Vallée du Rhône: incidence du terroir sur la diversité analytique et sensorielle des vins

Abstract

Rhone Valley A.O.C. Vineyards cover more than 70 000 hectares, of wich more than 40 000 plantedwith Grenache N. The Grenache observatory was created in 1995. The object of this 24 parcels network covering main Rhone Valley soils is to state the effect of terroir on plant physiology and wine characteristics. The results show a very important diversity in Grenache behaviour, but a good stability of the differences for the three studied vintages. This allows to characterize different types of grapes which vinified in the same conditions give very different wines. Main discrepancies affect the acidic and phenolic content of grapes and wines. They are confirmed by sensorial analysis wich gives a good description of gustative and aromatic characteristics of wines coming from the different parcels.

Come proteggere un territorio viticolo: il punto di vista del giurista

La valanga di fango che si è abbattuta nel Salemitano e nell’Avellinese, provocando decine di vittime, è stata causata in larga misura dalle insufficienti opere idrauliche e dalla manca­ta manutenzione di antiquati canali idrici.

Terroir in Tasting: A sensory approach for marketing fine Australian wines of provenance as memorable experiences

Aims: Establishing an image of fine wine through the Geographical Indication (GI) system is of interest to the Australian wine sector. Beyond provenance, the sensory experience of fine wine is often linked to consumption with appropriate foods. For this purpose, studies were undertaken to understand consumer perceptions of what

Modulating role of SO2 in white wine protein haze formation

Despite the extensive research performed during the last decades, the multifactorial mechanism responsible for the white wine protein haze formation is not fully characterized. Herein, a new model is proposed, which is based on the experimental identification of sulfur dioxide as a major modulating factor inducing wine protein haze upon heating. As opposed to other reducing agents, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), the addition of SO2 to must/wine upon heating cleaves intraprotein disulfide bonds, hinders thiol-disulfide exchange during protein interactions and can lead to the formation of novel inter/intraprotein disulfide bonds. Those are eventually responsible for wine protein aggregation which follows a nucleation-growth kinetic model as shown by dynamic light scattering [1].

Shift of Nitrogen Resources by biotic interaction in grapevine

Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch), a monophagous pest of the grapevine, induces nodosities on the roots through its sap-sucking activity.
