Valutazione comparativa di cloni di Pinot nero per la produzione di vini base spumante in alcuni ambienti del Piemonte

Abstract

[English version below]

Un vasto programma si riferisce alla verifica di 28 selezioni clonali di Pinot nero atte a vini base spumante. Gli impianti sono stati realizzati in diversi ambienti delle Langhe e del Monferrato nel periodo 1992-1996, in 57 vigneti diversi e su una superficie complessiva di circa 50 Ha. In ogni vigneto si è seguito uno schema sperimentale a blocchi randomizzati con densità di circa 4000 piante/Ha, sistema di allevamento assurgente in controspalliera e potatura a guyot. Nel presente lavoro si inizia a presentare i risultati relativi ai primi sette vigneti impiantati e ad 8 selezioni clonali di Pinot nero limitatamente ai parametri délia produzione nel triennio 1995-97.
Gli aspetti più significativi derivati dallo studio sono stati i seguenti:
– l’annata, intesa soprattutto come andamento climatico, ha esercitato un effetto molto importante sulla produzione di uva e sul peso del grappolo;
– Tra i vigneti considerati (siti) sono state riscontrate ampie differenze; quanto più un ambiente si è dimostrato favorevole, tanto più importanti sono state le produzioni delle diverse selezioni di Pinot nero e viceversa.
– Nell ‘ambito delle selezioni clonali si sono distiniti tre gruppi di cloni sulla base délia loro produttività: alta (cloni 292, 236, 375 e 459), media (clone 52) ed inferiore alla media (cloni 521 e 386)
– E verificata l’alternanza produttiva del Pinot nero negli anni e la sua elevata reattività ai siti ed alle condizioni climatico-ambientali.

A wide program has been build up in order to verify 28 Pinot noir clonal selections for high quality sparkling wines. 57 experimental vineyards have been planted over the period 1992-96 in diversified environments of Langhe and Monferrato for a total surface of about 50 Ha.
In every vineyard a randomized scheme was adopted with a density of about 4000 plants/ha, with low training system and Guyot pruning. The result related in this paper are about the yield of the first 7 vineyards and of 8 Pinot noir clonal selections, in the period 1995-1997. The most significant results are:
– The year, mainly as climatic conditions, proved an important effect on grape production and bunch weight
– Wide differences have been verified among the experimental vineyards (sites); as more an environment has been demonstrated favorable, so much the productions of the different Pinot noir’s selections have been important and vice versa.
– Three groups of clones have been found out on the base of the productivity: high (clones 292, 236, 375, 459), medium (clone 52) and lower of the average (clones 521 and 386).
– The Pinot noir yield variability over the years and his high reactivity to the climatic and environmental conditions have been verified.

Oenological tannins to prevent Botrytis cinerea damage: reduction of laccase activity

Oenological tannins are classified as hydrolysable and condensed tannins. Their use in winemaking is only authorized, to facilitate wine fining. Nevertheless, tannins could also be used to prevent laccase effects.

Evaluation of phenology, agronomic and oenological quality in minority wine varieties in Madrid as a strategy for adaptation to climate change

The main phenological stages (budburst, flowering, veraison, and ripeness) and the fruit composition of 34 Spanish minority varieties were studied to determine their cultivation potential and help winegrowers adapt their production systems to climate change conditions. In total, 4 control cultivars, and 30 minority varieties from central Spain were studied during a period of 3 campaigns, in the ampelographic collection “El Encín”, in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. Agronomic and oenological characteristics such as yield, and total soluble solids concentration have been monitored.

Anthocyanin composition and sensory properties of wines from Portuguese and international varieties cultivated in a hot and dry region of Portugal

The study of anthocyanins in wines and grapes has been the subject of numerous research works over the years due to their important role in enology regarding their contribution to wine sensory properties.

Synthesis of the contribution of the Giesco (group of international experts of vitivinicultural systems for cooperation) to the study of terroirs

Since 1998, the GiESCO (previously named GESCO: Groupe d’Etude des Systèmes de COnduite de la vigne) has provided the scientific community with relevant contributions to the study of terroirs. Here is a synthesis of the main terroir-related fields and the major ideas the GiESCO has developed: Basic Terroir Unit and climate, Vine Ecophysiology and microclimate – moderate drought, Vineyard heterogeneity and new technologies, Viticultural Terroir Unit and canopy management, Terroir – Territory and man.

Leaf necrosis induced by the insecticide carbaryl in Vitis rupestris ‘B38’

Carbaryl is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor-type insecticide used for pest control on grapevine. We repeatedly observed the occurrence of interveinal leaf necrosis following carbaryl spray application in a Vitis rupestris x Vitis riparia F1 hybrid progeny vineyard. Spray applications induced necrosis in this progeny under both Missouri and New York field conditions an approximate one-to-one sensitive-to-insensitive segregation ratio and with 42% concordance. Results of subsequent in vitro experiments established causality between carbaryl treatment and leaf necrosis and confirmed the pattern of segregation observed in the field. We consistently map this phenotype to a major QTL on chromosome 16 of the female parent V. rupestris ‘B38’ regardless of whether we used field or in vitro-generated phenotype data.
