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.

Exploring the potential of agrivoltaics in German vineyards: A GIS-based assessment

The growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices has highlighted the potential of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) as a promising solution, particularly in the context of German viticulture.

Effect of nitrogen content on fermentation kinetics and aroma profile of assyrtiko wine

Today, there is need to design, produce and label terroir wines, with unique organoleptic properties and more “attractive to consumers”. For this purpose, two Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains (Sa and Sb) isolated during spontaneous fermentations were used for white wine production from the Assyrtiko grape of Santorini. A third commercial strain was used as control.

Distribution and sensory impact of new oak wood-derived compounds in wines

Despite the numerous research studies carried out in recent years, the study of wine aroma remains of great interest due to its complexity. Wine maturation in oak barrels is described as an important step in the production of quality wines. In fact, oak wood develops several aromatic nuances through its toasting which can be released into the wine. A great deal of work has been performed in order to identify the wood-derived volatile compounds that contribute to wine aroma (e.g., whisky-lactone, maltol, eugenol, guaiacol, vanillin).

Acetaldehyde-induced condensation products in red wines affect the precipitation of salivary proteins. Will this impact astringency?

Acetaldehyde is a common component of wine. It is already formed during the fermentation being an intermediate in the production of ethanol. Moreover, it can derive from the oxidation of ethanol during the wine production and aging. In wine, concentrations of acetaldehyde range from 30 to 130 mg/L. Acetaldehyde in wine can react with many compounds such as SO2, amino acids and
