Progetto di zonazione delle valli di Cembra e dell’Adige. Analisi del comportamento della varietà Pinot nero in ambiente subalpino

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel 1990 la Cantina LA VIS ha intrapreso un progetto di zonazione dei terreni vitati allo scopo di acquisire le conoscenze scientifiche atte a consentire il miglioramento delle qualità dei prodotti. Tale progetto si è articolato su di una superficie di 2000 ettari ubicati lungo l’asta fluviale del fiume Adige da Trento a Salorno e del torrente Avisio da Lavis a Segonzano. Data la vastità dell ‘area indagata si è suddivisa la stessa nelle zone di Cembra, Lavis, Meano e Salorno.
Nell ‘ambito di tale progetto è stata posta particolare attenzione al comportamento della varietà Pinot nero, sia sotto gli aspetti vegeto-produttivi che su risultati ottenuti a seguito di prove di microvinificazione.
I parametri vegeto-produttivi presi in considerazione (valori medi quadriennali 1992-1995) hanno evidenziato come nelle quattro zone oggetto d’indagine la produzione non ha manifestato differenze statisticamente significative nei vari ambienti, anche se alcuni dei parametri influenzanti la resa presentano delle differenze fra loro, come ad esempio il peso medio del grappolo che a Cembra présenta i valori più bassi. Analizzando i parametri qualitativi, si evidenzia come a Cembra, conseguenza di una maggiore quota altimetrica, si ha un basso grado zuccherino, una più alta acidità totale e un minor pH. L’analisi organolettica dei vini ottenuti e la successiva elaborazione statistica ha evidenziato come nelle due annate d’indagine (1992-1993) nella zona di Cembra, si sono ottenuti vini con note di tipicità e gusto superiore alla média e si è potuto evidenziare come nell ‘unità pedologica CE2 di tale zona si sono avute sensazioni gustative ed aromatiche superiori alla media.
In 1990 Cantina LA VIS undertook a zonation project of the vine terrains for the purpose of acquiring scientific knowledge to improve product quality. This project was centered on an area of 2000 hectares along the banks of the Adige river from Trento to Salorno and the Avisio stream from Lavis to Segonzano. Due to its vast size the area under examination was divided into four zones: Cembra, Lavis, Meano and Salorno.
The project examined in particular the Pinot Nero variety, the vegetal-fertile aspects as well as the results of microvinification tests.
The vegetal-fertile parameters taken into consideration (averages values from 1992-1995) show that in the four areas production did not differ significantly under the various environments, even if some parameters affecting the yield do differ, as for example in Cembra the mean weight of the grape bunch was lower. By analyzing the qualitative parameters it was found that in Cembra, with a higher altitude, there was a lover sugar level, higher total acidity and a lower ph. Analysis of the organoleptic characteristics of the wines obtained and the successive statistical elaboration has shown that the two harvests in Cembra produced wines with a more superior flavor and typicality and pedologie unit CE2 of this area a higher than average flavor and aroma were evident.

HPLC-based quantification of elemental sulfur in grape juice

Elemental sulfur is commonly used in vineyards as a fungicide to prevent diseases and protect grapevines.1 The challenges of climate change are intensifying disease pressure, further increasing the reliance on sulfur use. Understanding the range of potential impacts of residual sulfur during the winemaking process is becoming increasingly important.

Can fungoid chitosan help to produce sulfite-free wines? Ten years of investigation on its antioxidant properties

Chitosan is a natural polymeric saccharide admitted by EU since 2011 for must and wine clarification, the reduction of some contaminants (e.g. ochratoxin A) and to prevent the development of wine microbialspoilage due to lactic acid bacteria or Dekkera/Brettanomyces yeasts.

Glucosidase and esterase salivary activities and their involvement in consumer’s wine sensory perception and liking

Wine flavour is the integration of distinct physiologically defined sensory systems that combine taste, aroma and trigeminal sensations, and it is a key determinant factor for the acceptance of wine by consumers. Volatile compounds, are important contributors to wine flavour, specially to aroma. These small and low-boiling point compounds are easily released into the air allowing to enter and move within the nasal or oral cavities where they can bind the olfactory receptors. Additionally, wine also contains aroma precursors, which are non-volatile compounds, but that can be broken down releasing volatile odorants. During wine tasting, all these chemicals (volatiles and non-volatiles) can be submitted to the action of salivary enzymes.

Vegetative dose heights ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and its influence on fruit and wine quality

The leaf area is of fundamental importance so that the plant can realize adequate levels of photosynthesis for the accumulation of reserves and to reach a suitable maturation of
the berries. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the effect of different lengths of the stalks from the first support wire, in the must and in the wine of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’.

Building of a hierarchy of wines based on terroirs: an initiative from the producers of Muscadet

The Muscadet area is situated in the southeast of Nantes, close to the Atlantic coast. It constitutes the western extension
of the French vineyard “Loire Valley”. The Muscadet is renowned and often spontaneously linked to a white wine.
However it remains misconceived as an ordinary wine, lacking authenticity.
