Zonazione aziendale nel territorio del Chianti classico e valorizzazione dei vini

Abstract

[English version below]

Nell’ambiente del Chianti Classico è stato applicato un progetto di zonazione aziendale con l’objettivo di valorizzare le produzioni dei diversi vigneti. In particolare sono stati individuati sette siti, sottoposti a studio particolareggiato per un triennio.
I parametri ecopedologici sono stati correlati ai dati fenologici e produttivi, con particolare riguardo alle sostanze coloranti. I vini ottenuti nelle varie tesi sono stati sottoposti ad analisi sensoriale allo scopo di valutare le potenzialità dei vitigno Sangiovese seconda diverse tecni­che di vinificazione, sia in legno che in acciaio.
I risultati sottolineano la variabilità fenotipica del Sangiovese, in relazione alla struttura fisica dei suoli esaminati. In particolare l’accumulo degli zuccheri risulta dipendere dalle caratteristiche del suolo, mentre il contenuto acidico risulta maggiormente influenzato dal­l’annata. ln condizioni climatiche simili i migliori risultati sono stati ottenuti in suoli ricchi di scheletro e terra fine, con buon drenaggio. La tecnica di maturazione del vino ha diversa­mente influenzato i prodotti ottenuti nei vari vigneti.

On a large farm in the Chianti Classico area, seven vineyards were studied. They had different levels of productivity despite similar cultural practices. The different vineyards were studied over a three-year period with regard to environmental and pedological aspects.
The parameters obtained have been correlated to phenological and productive trends, with regard to the sensorial analisys of wine and the color components. The wines were matured in oak barrel and steel tank to point out the best enological use of the different vineyards productions.
The results underline the phenotypical variability of Sangiovese, especialiy due to the physical structure of the examined soils. In particular, sugar accumulation depended on the soil characteristic, white acidity depended on the year. Under similar climate conditions, the best results on wine were obtained in sandy soils originating from sandy limestone rich with rock fragment. Maturation technique, using oak barrels or steel tanks, has differently influenced wines obtained from various soils.

Sensory patterns observed towards the oxidation of white, rosé and sparkling wines: An exploratory study

Oxygen management is crucial in terms of wine quality. Even more for white and rosé wines, which are less protected against oxidation than reds due to the lower levels of antioxidant polyphenols. This need is due to the existence of equilibria between chemical forms depending on the redox potential.

Study of Spanish wine sensory analysis data over a 3-year period

This study presents an investigation based on sensory analysis data of Spanish wines with geographical indications collected over a three-year period. Sensory analysis plays a crucial role in assessing the quality, characteristics, and perception of wines. The trained tasting panel at Dolmar Laboratory, accredited for objective sensory evaluation of wines since 2016, has been tasting over 5000 wines. However, it is since 2021, when a computer application for tastings was developed, that the digitalization of data allows for detailed statistical analysis of the results.

Aspects concernant les relations entre quelques composantes de la biomasse viticole, en fonction de l’offre des ressources écologiques

Ecological resources represent vegetation factors, or even production factors, in quantitative expression. These, used by plants, transformed and organized according to their genetic program, become the material components of biomass. Subsequently, the ecological resources can be used as synthetic indicators of the ecological supply, necessary for the analysis of favorability for the understanding of ecosystems.

Monitoring the establishment of a synthetic microbial community with a potential biocontrol activity against grapevine downy mildew using a microfluidic qPCR chip

Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is responsible for significant economic losses each year and for a large proportion of the fungicides used in viticulture.
