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.

Spectral features of vine leaves are influenced by their mineral content

The reflectance spectra of vegetation carry potentially useful information that can be used to determine chemical composition and discriminate between vegetation classes. If compared with analytical methods such as conventional chemical analysis, reflectance measurement provides non-destructive, economic, near real-time data. 

Advanced phenology due to climate change is projected to shift precipitation patterns for key cultivar-region combinations in New Zealand

Context of the study. Shifts in grapevine phenology driven by temperature increase due to climate change may result in different rainfall profiles between phenological stages.

La caracterización de los moscateles

The origin and the discovery of “terroir”

Le mot “terroir” dérive du latin “terra”, mais déjà les Romains l’indiquaient comme “locus” ou”loci”, c’est-à-dire un lieu ayant le “genius”destiné à la production d’un produit d’excellente qualité.

Inhibition of Oenococcus oeni during alcoholic fermentation by a selected Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain

The use of selected cultures of the species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in Oenology has grown in prominence in recent years. While initial applications of this species centred very much around malolactic fermentation (MLF), there is strong evidence to show that certain strains can be harnessed for their bio-protective effects. Unwanted spontaneous MLF during alcoholic fermentation (AF), driven by rogue Oenococcus oeni, is a winemaking deviation that is very difficult to manage when it occurs. This work set out to determine the efficacy of one particular strain of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum(Viniflora® NoVA™ Protect), against this problem in Cabernet Sauvignon must. The work was carried out at commercial scale and in a winery environment and compared the bio-protective culture with the more traditional approach of reducing must pH by the addition of tartaric acid. The combination of both was also investigated. The concentration of both Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was determined using qPCR. The adventitious Oenococcus oeni showed the most growth during AF in the control wine, whereas in the wines treated with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum a bacteriostatic effect against this species was observed. This effect was comparable to the wines treated with tartaric acid. This has particular commercial relevance for controlling the flora in musts with high pH, or when the addition of tartaric acid is either not permitted or is prohibitive for other reasons.
