La Région Délimitée du Douro et le Vin de Porto — un terroir historique —

Abstract

La viticulture de la Région Délimitée du Douro, une des héritières de la viticulture ancestrale, traditionnellement empirique et de qualité, tout en intégrant la modernité et les outils contemporains, respecte et a toujours présent les principes sur lesquels elle s’est développé.

Commes les a très bien définit M.Champagnol :
1. La nécessité de réserver les meilleures terres pour les céréales destinés à la nourriture humaine ;
2. La production de moûts riches en sucre afin de contourner le problème de la mauvaise conservation des vins peu alcoolisés ;
3. Les petits récipients vinaires qui imposaient une vinification en petit volume, et qui ont permis d’établir des corrélations entre les parcelles et le vin,
sont quelques facteurs qui ont orienté cette viticulture vers un objectif de qualité.
Ce chemin de la qualité – qui conceme l’authenticité du vin et, Évidemment, la garantie donnée au consommateur, qui est le dernier juge de la qualité -, est un long chemin que l’on poursuit depuis presque 300 ans dans la Région Délimité du Douro.

Red wine astringency and the influence of wine–saliva aggregates on oral lubrication

Oral tribology receives growing attention in the field of food sciences as it offers great opportunities to establish correlations between physical parameters, such as the coefficient of friction, and sensory perceptions in the human mouth.

Impact of winemaking practises on the formation of pinking

The pinking is a phenomenon that can occur in white wine produced with white grape causing the color change from yellow to red-salmon hue. Even if its appearance is highly variable and dependent to the vintage, the wines from certain grape varieties, such as Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Trebbiano di Lugana, have been identified to be more susceptible to the pinking.

Volatile composition of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Argentina, Portugal and Spain

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most cultivated grape varieties worldwide being grown in different environmental conditions due to its excellent adaptability. Volatile compounds deeply contribute to the sensory properties of wines therefore to wine quality. The aim of this work was to compare the aroma profile of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from different geographical areas and climatic conditions, namely from Argentina, Portugal and Spain, from the vintage 2022. In addition, the volatile composition of the Cabernet Sauvignon Portuguese wines from three vintages was evaluated.

Metatranscriptomic analysis of “aszú” berries: the potential role of the most important species of the grape microbiota in the aroma of wines with noble rot

Botrytis cinerea has more than 1200 host plants and is one of the most important plant pathogens in viticulture. Under certain environmental conditions, it can lead to the development of a noble rot, which results in a specific metabolic profile, altering physical texture and chemical composition. The other microbes involved in this process and their functional genes are poorly characterised. We have generated metatranscriptomic [1,2] and DNA metabarcoding data from three months of the Furmint grape variety, representing the four phases of noble rot, from healthy berries to completely dried berries.
