Evolution of several biochemical compounds during the development of Merlot wine in the vinegrowing “Terroir” of Valea Călugăreasa

Abstract

The qualitative and quantitative distribution of the phenolic compounds in red wines depends on cultivars features, on grapes maturation state, on grapes processing technology including must obtention, as well as on maceration-fermentation method (Margheri, 1981). The last two factors are responsible for the different phenolic composition of the wines produced from the same cultivar. Dealu Mare vineyard offers favourable conditions for a higher capitalization of Cabemet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Merlot and Fetească neagră cultivars. The red wines having a middle or high content in phenolic compounds and a well-balanced phenolic composition are advisable for being developed in oak barrels (Sommers and Pocock, 1990).

The study which was undertaken at the Research Institute for Viticulture and Enology, Valea Calugareasca, during 1987-1995 was pursuing both the evolution of phenolic composition and wines color, and the influence of the keeping container on the quality of Merlot wine.

Evolution of acetaldehyde concentration during wine alcoholic fermentation: online monitoring for production balances

During alcoholic fermentation, acetaldehyde is the carbonyl compound quantitatively the most produced by yeasts after ethanol. The dynamics of acetaldehyde production can be divided into 3 phases. Early formation of this compound is observed during the lag phase at the beginning of fermentation before any detectable growth [1].

Monitoring water deficit in vineyards by means of Red and Infrared measurements

Vineyard water availability is one of the most important variables both in plant’s production and wine quality, once it regulates several processes, among which the stomata activity. To avoid water deficit, wine producers introduced artificial irrigation in their vineyard, using a semi-empirical process to calculate water amount.

Ozone treatment: a solution to improve sanitary and physiological quality of vine plant

The vineyard world is faced to a lot of fungal diseases. Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTD) are some of the major. After exhibiting chronical foliar symptoms, grapevines can die by apoplexy within only few days. A range species of fungi was described to be associated with the apparition of early symptoms of GTD. It is well known that ozone dissolved into water is a powerful disinfectant with no remanence. The main goal of this study was to test the efficiency of this process on different fungal species associated with GTD in vitro and in planta conditions.
