Diversificazione e valorizzazione di produzioni tipiche sul territorio: I cesanesi

Abstract

The zone in which the Cesanese vines are cultivated has a secular tradition of red wine­making. This zone is placed between the Simbruini mountains slopes and the surrounding hills and has pedologicai variability but a very homogeneous microclimate.
These conditions favour high quality of Cesanese grapes and wines. The investigations started for some time, with the contribution of “Regione Lazio”, regarding the characteri­zation and improvement of vine-growing and wine-producing of this zone, pointed out the presence of some “Cesanese di Affile” clones.
Among them will be choosed the best for colour, typicalness and quality. The Cesanese wines, with typical flavour and mellow taste are specially suitable for sweet or dry young wines and for dry wines short-middle aged.
The mixing of grape with high and constant antocyanins content and the grape withering technique, are both able to produce very good wine diversifications.

Vineyard management strategies adopted to mitigate the impacts of climate change affect the evolution of phenolics and color during bottle aging of Aglianico wines

In recent years several strategies have been proposed to cope with the effect of climate change on grape berry quality but only a few studies have dealt with the influence of management practices implemented in the field (e.g. irrigation,summer pruning, etc.), on the evolution of wines over time.

Study of the evolution of tannins during wine aging by mass spectrometry monitoring of oxidation markers released after chemical depolymerization

Among the many compounds in wine, condensed tannins play an important role in the organoleptic properties of the products; they are partly responsible for astringency, bitterness and also contribute to the color. This research work aims to study the oxidation state of these bio-heteropolymers which is an important lock in the analysis of processed products in order to better control their quality. Indeed, their identification remains at present a challenge because of the large heterogeneity of their degrees of polymerization (DP) based on 4 monomers (epicatechin, catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-O-gallate) thus multiplying the number of oxidation products.

Ecodesign tools and approaches in viticulture for professionals and learners, contributions of the Vitarbae project

The agro-ecological transition in winegrowing can benefit from the environmental assessment of practices to inform producers’ technical choices. life cycle assessment (lca) evaluates the environmental impact of a product over its entire life cycle. this paper takes a look at the tools available for the detailed assessment and eco-design of winegrowing practices, their uses and developments in the vitarbae research project (2023-2026). this project aims to establish and equip support and training courses for the agroecological transition in viticulture and fruit arboriculture.
