Valorisation agroviticole de l’effet terroir par l’enherbement des sols

Abstract

Les études développées par l’INRA et l’UV, à Angers, concerne les terroirs viticoles et leur gestion optimisée, tant du point de vue agroviticole qu’oenologique. Les travaux antérieurs (Morlat, 1989) ont permis de donner une dimension scientifique au concept de terroir viticole et ont démontré l’influence considérable de ce facteur de production sur la qualité et la typicité des vins (Asselin et al, 1992). Une méthodologie de caractérisation intégrée des terroirs, s’appuyant sur « l’Unité Naturelle Terroir de Base » (considérée comme la plus petite unité spatiale de territoire utilisable dans la pratique, et dans laquelle la réponse de la vigne est homogène), a été mise au point (Riou et al, 1995).

Les terroirs identifiés et cartographiés selon cette méthode occupent une surface qui varie de quelques hectares à plusieurs centaines d’hectares. Ils peuvent constituer la base d’un zonage pour une région viticole, à partir duquel on peut envisager d’une part, une utilisation rationnelle de l’effet terroir à l’échelle de l’exploitation viticole, et d’autre part une gestion parcellaire des itinéraires techniques.

Further insight on the use of yeast derivative products as alcoholic fermentation enhancers

Issues that can arise during the alcoholic fermentation are frequently attributed to imbalances or deficiencies in the nutrient composition of the fermentation medium.

A phylogenomic study reveals the major dissemination routes of ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ in the Iberian Peninsula

‘Tempranillo Tinto’ is a black-berried Iberian cultivar that originated from a hybridization between cvs. ‘Benedicto’ and ‘Albillo Mayor’ [1]. Today, it is the third most widely grown wine grape cultivar worldwide with more than 200,000 hectares of vineyards mostly distributed along the Iberian Peninsula, where it is also known as ‘Cencibel’, ‘Tinta de Toro’, ‘Tinta Roriz’, and ‘Aragonez’, among other synonyms. Here, we quantified the intra-varietal genomic diversity in this cultivar through the study of 35 clones or ancient vines from seven different Iberian wine-making regions. A comparative analysis after Illumina whole-genome sequencing revealed the presence of 1,120 clonal single nucleotide variants (SNVs).

Effect of different plant fibers on the elimination of undesirable compounds in red wine 

The presence of undesirable compounds in wines, such as ota, biogenic amines and pesticides residues, affects wine quality and can cause health problems for the consumer. Additionally, an excess of tannins can produce an undesirable increase in the astringency and bitterness of the wine, so tannins are also a target for reduction. The main tool that a winemaker has to reduce their content in the wine is fining. However, some of the fining agents commonly used in the winery can cause allergies or even increase the protein content in the wine, increasing the turbidity.

IDENTIFICATION OF NEW RESVERATROL DERIVATIVES FORMED IN RED WINE AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Stilbenes are natural bioactive polyphenols produced by grapevine. Recently, we have reviewed the na- tural presence of these compounds in wines [1]. This study showed that the resveratrol and its glycoside, the piceid, are the most abundant stilbenes in wines. Resveratrol is a well-known stilbene with a wide range of biological activities. Due to its specific structure, resveratrol can be oxidized in wines to form various derivatives including oligomers [2]. In this study, we investigate the resveratrol and piceid transformation in wines.

Metabolic fingerprinting and qualitative attributes of two indigenous Cypriot cultivars destined for the production of ‘commandaria’: the impact of leaf removal and dehydration process

Grapes’ sun-drying is one of the most critical steps in the production of ‘Commandaria’, a dessert wine with Protected Designation of Origin that is exclusively produced in Cyprus from grapes of the two indigenous cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.), namely ‘Mavro’ and ‘Xynisteri’. Despite its significant economic importance, no data regarding the primary and secondary metabolites of the aforementioned cultivars exist.
