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.

Geology and landscape as determining factors in microfields and development of the different Spanish appellations of origin

Dividing agrarian exploitations into microfields is a problem that influences the modern viticulture in a very important way. The aim of this work is the study of the influence of Geology and Geomorphology in agricultural structures

Sensory and nephelometric analysis of tannin fractions obtained by ultrafiltration of red wines

The assessment of red wine mouthfeel relies primarily on the sensory description of its tannic properties. This evaluation could be improved by gaining a better understanding of the physicochemical properties of these tannins. Hence, the objectives of the present study were threefold: (1) to gain an insight into the sensory properties of subpopulations of proanthocyanidic tannins of different molecular sizes obtained through several ultrafiltration steps, (2) to quantify the kinetics of haze formation of these proanthocyanidic tannins in a dynamic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) precipitation test, (3) to determine whether a correlation exists between the sensory and the precipitation data.

INVESTIGATION OF FILM COATINGS AS A PROTECTIVE LAYER IN REDUCING THE ABSORPTION OF SMOKE PHENOLS INTO PINOT NOIR GRAPES

Wine grapes exposed to wildfire smoke have resulted in wines with burnt and ashy sensory characteristics¹, that are undesirable qualities in wine. In extreme wildfire events, this can lead to total loss of grape crop. Currently there are no effective solutions in the market to prevent the uptake of smoke compounds into grapes. In this study, previously developed innovative film coatings were tested to analyze their effectiveness in reducing smoke phenol absorption². Four different cellulose nanofiber-based film types were investigated.

INFLUENCE OF THE THICKNESS OF OAK ALTERNATIVES ON THE COMPOSITION AND QUALITY OF RED WINES

Aging red wines in oak barrels is an expensive and laborious process that can only be applied to wines with a certain added value. For this reason, the use of oak alternatives coupled with micro-oxygenation has progressively increased over recent years, because it can reproduce the processes taking place in the barrels more economically and quickly [1]. Several studies have explored how oak alternatives [2-5] can contribute to wine composition and quality but little is known about the influence of their thickness.

Optimization of in vitro establishment of grapevine varieties for fast micropropagation 

Micropropagation is an important alternative to conventional methods of plant propagation. The objective of this study was to optimize a protocol for in vitro micropropagation of selected grapevine hybrids (H19 and H20) that are included in our breeding program. For the sprouting initiation experiment, nodal cuttings with only one axillary bud from two hybrids were separated, disinfected, and cultivated in 50% Murashige Skoog nutrient medium (½ MS) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM), adding 4.4 µM benzyladenine (BA) in both mediums.
