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.

Application of treatments to delay the ripening of grape varieties cultivated in valpolicella

Winegrape cultivars are particularly sensitive to temperature and recent changes in climate have advanced the onset of berry ripening, resulting in unbalanced fruit composition at harvest.

Under-vine cover crop: effect over glycosidic aroma precursors of Vitis vinifera L. Cv Syrah

AIM: Volatile compounds joint to aromatic precursors form the aroma of grape must that will provide a characteristic aroma to the wine.

Intelligent use of ethanol for the direct quantitative determination of volatile compounds in spirit drinks

The quality of any alcoholic beverage depends on many parameters, such as cultivars, harvesting time, fermentation, distillation technology used, quality and type of wooden barrels (in case of matured drinks), etc.; however, the most important factor in their classification is content of volatile compounds.

Analytical characterization of Oloroso Sherry in Sherry Cask seasoning and its influence in the ageing of brandy de jerez

Oloroso Sherry is a typical fortified wine from Jerez de la Frontera (south of Spain). It is one of the most used in the seasoning of oak barrels, called Sherry Cask, destined in this area for ageing brandies or condiments as wine vinegars. Brandy de Jerez is an European Geographical Indication for grape-derived spirits. Its special organoleptic characteristics are due to its traditional dynamic ageing in Sherry Casks. American oak is the most common wood employed in Jerez area, where Brandy de Jerez is exclusively manufactured. During ageing period of Sherry and brandies, the wood is not only a container, it is involved in several physicochemical process with the Sherry or the distillate. Oak wood is the responsible of the presence of many compounds in the products, affecting their aroma and chemical composition and having a high influence in their final quality. Moreover, the seasoned wood with Sherry wine could transfer the compounds from wine into the brandy, improving its aroma and flavor.

Nitrogen forms and Iron deficiency: how do Grapevine rootstocks responses change?

Grapevine rootstocks provide protection against environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. Nitrogen (N) and iron (Fe) are growth-limiting factors in many crop plants due to their effects on the chlorophyll and photosynthetic characteristics. Iron nutrition of plants can be significantly affected by different nitrogen forms through altering the uptake ratio of cations and anions, and changing rhizosphere pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the response mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks due to the interaction between different nitrogen forms and iron uptake.
