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.

AOC Saint-Romain, Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune, Burgundy: analysis of a “terroir”

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the terroir of Saint-Romain, Burgundy, based on three main information sources: official data relating to vines (CVI), soil cartography and a survey of winegrowers’ practices.

Obtaining new varieties derived from Monastrell for the preparation of low alcoholic wines

The main challenge faced by viticulture is to improve the quality of the wines, adapting them to the new consumer demands that demand wines with lower alcohol content and greater freshness. In the last 30 years, a clear modification has been observed in the composition of the grape due to climate change

Terroir et marché : exemples de stratégie pour les vins d’une petite région (Muscadet – Anjou – Touraine)

The designations of origin of the Loire Valley wine have been recognized according to customs and notoriety established over the centuries since the Middle Ages. There are four main production basins going up the Loire, from Nantes to the Sancerrois region: Nantes, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine and the vineyards of the Centre. In each of these basins, there is a wide range of appellations of origin which has been established according to a logic which may not seem obvious to the uninformed.

Effect of Yeast Derivative Products on Aroma compounds retention in model wine

For many years, enological research has developed commercial formulates of yeast derivatives as stabilizing agents and technological adjuvants in winemaking. These products are obtained from yeast by autolytic, plasmolytic, or hydrolytic processes that liberate many macromolecules from the yeast cell, principally polysaccharides and oligosaccharides and most specifically mannoproteins that are well known for their ability to improve tartaric stability and to reduce the occurrence of protein hazes (Ángeles Pozo-Bayón et al., 2009; Charpentier & Feuillat, 1992; Morata et al., 2018; Palomero et al., 2009).
