Vite e territorio. Il caso della Franciacorta nel medioevo

A new immunoassay kit, called Botrytis Lateral Flow Device has been tested to detect Botrytis cinerea on musts and wines. The comparison of the immunoassay result with the quantitative analysis of usual markers (gluconic acid, sugars and polyols) showed the relevance of this innovative tool.

Global climate change affects regional climates and hold implications for wine growing regions worldwide

The monitoring of the number of micro-orgranisms in wine is crucial for the wine producer. Traditional counting methods include microscopic enumeration and plating on selective media, which measures the culturability of the cells. The use of epifluorescence microscopy is, however, a method, which can measure both culturability and

Grapes are one of the world’s primary fruit crops, and pruning activities generate high amounts of annual wood wastes [1]. These pruning shoots contain valuable phenolic compounds and could have numerous potential applications [1,2]. Consequently, the aim of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of vine pruning residues with potential as enological additives. For this purpose, grapevine shoots from 12 varieties grown in Chile were collected during the winter of 2021.

In recent years, Uruguay has embraced the Albariño grape variety (Vitis vinifera L.) as one of the most promising for commercial growth. Originally cultivated in Galicia and northern Portugal, Albariño has risen to prominence in the global wine market, driving strong demand and significantly increasing grape prices [1].
