Recognition of terroir in american viticultural areas

Abstract

Un’ Area di Viticultura Americana, detta AVA, è una regione vinicola delimitata ed è dis­tinguibile da caratteristiche geografiche i cui confini sono stati definiti da regolamenti. Il sistema AVA rappresenta un ‘accettazione del concetto di terroir (terreno), come dimostra­no gli studi che confermano il carattere regionale dei vini AVA e dalla sviluppo di sub­denominazioni più relazionate al terreno. Designazioni dell’ AVA denotano l’origine, non la qualità, ma promuovano lo sviluppo di qualità mentre che produttori di vino che cercano differenziazione nel mercato adottino metodi viticulturali ed enologici che massimizzano la qualità dei vini dai loro terreni unici. Alcune AVA si sono fatte riconoscere per delle vari­etali particolari e alcune hanno realizzato dei livelli cosi alti attraverso una serie di vari­etali che i loro vini possono essere raccomandati in gran parte basati solo sulla denomi­nazione.

Extraction of polyphenols from grape marc by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and evaluation of their ‘bioavailability’ as dietary supplements

In the winemaking process, several compounds that remain in the grape skins and seeds after the fermentation stage are bioactive-compounds (substances with potential beneficial effects on health) that can be extracted in order to recovery valuable substances with a high commercial value for the cosmetic, food (nutraceuticals) and pharmaceutical industries. The skins contain significant amounts of bioactive substances such as tannins (16-27%) and other polyphenolic compounds (2-6.5%) in particular, catechins, anthocyanins, proanthocyanins, quercetin , ellagic acid and resveratrol.
