The Australian geographical indication process

Aim: The notion of “terroir” enables the attribution of distinctive characteristics to wines from the same region. Climate change raises issues about viticulture, especially the growth of the vines and even more importantly the economic situation of actual wine-growing regions (Schultz and Jones 2010; Quénol 2014). Several studies have addressed the impacts of climate change on viticulture in

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2024, Silvia Motta (Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l’analisi dell’economia agraria – Centro di Ricerca Viticoltura ed Enologia, Asti, Italy) speaks about the effect of SO2, glutathione and tannins on Cortese white wine oxidative evolution after different oxygen intakes. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

For the chemical characterization of Aszu wines from Tokaj region our aim is to develop a biochemical method which is related to Botrytis cinerea.

Yeast protein extracts (ypes) have flocculating properties, allowing clarification of musts and wines. They are already authorized by oiv for fining purposes with a maximum dosage limit of 60 g/hl for red wines, and 30 g/hl for musts, white and rosè wines. The extraction of ypes from the cytoplasm of yeasts (saccharomyces spp) cells is defined by the resolution oiv oeno 452-2012, that indicate also some specification of the final product.

The use of toasted vine-shoots as an alternative enological tool to make differentiated wines has generated interest among researchers and wineries. However, the evolution of these wines in bottle and the effect on the sensory profile has not been studied so far.
