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.

Tackling the 3D root system architecture of grapevines: a new phenotyping pipeline based on photogrammetry

Plant roots fulfil important functions as they are responsible for the acquisition of water and nutrients, for anchorage and stability, for interaction with symbionts and, in some cases, for the storage of carbohydrates. These functions are associated with the Root System Architecture (RSA, i.e. the form and the spatial arrangement of the roots in the soil). The RSA results from several biological processes (elongation, ramification, mortality…) genetically determined but with high structural plasticity.

Ultrasound and microwave techniques to accelerate the release of oak wood compounds in wine aging process

Aging process is an essential stage in the improvement of wine quality. This process is usually performed by contact with oak wood whose compounds are released and transferred to wine, acquiring typical aging bouquet. Although the use of oak chips is a practice generally accepted as alternative to barrels to shorten aging process, the application of emerging technologies is being unfolded to accelerate this stage.

Investigating vineyard floor management is essential as these practices directly impact soil health, vine growth, and grape quality.

Modification on grape phenolic and aromatic composition due to different leafroll virus infections

Viral diseases are reported to cause several detrimental effects on grapevine. Among them, leafroll, due to single or mixed infection of GLRaV1 and GLRaV3, and rugose wood, associated to GVA, are considered the most widespread and dangerous.
