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.

INVESTIGATION INTO MOUSY OFF-FLAVOR IN WINE USING GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY WITH STIR BAR SORPTIVE EXTRACTION

Mousy off-flavor is one of the defects of microbial origin in wine. It is described as a particularly unpleasant defect reminiscent of rodent urine (a “dirty mouse cage”), and grilled foods such as popcorn, rice, crackers, and bread crust. Prior to the 2010s, mousiness was very uncommon but it has been becoming more frequent in recent years. It is often associated with an increase in pH as well as certain oenological practices, which tend to significantly decrease the use of sulfur dioxide.
