Monitoring of Sangiovese red wine chemical and sensory parameters along one-year aging in different tank materials and glass bottle

Abstract

The aim of this study was to test how different tank materials could affect the chemical composition and the sensory profile of a red wine during an entire year of aging. For this scope, a single varietal Sangiovese wine was aged, after completing its malolactic fermentation, by using tanks made by different materials. Six thesis were involved in the aging experiment, in particular: stainless steel, epoxy-coated concrete, uncoated concrete, earthenware raw amphorae, and new and used oak barrels. Wines were characterized for their chemical and sensory profile. Phenolic and volatile compounds, elementals content, tartaric stability and sensory discriminant attributes of Sangiovese wine from 2018 harvest were measured after 6 and 12 months of aging in tanks, and 6 months in glass bottle (after the aging of 6 months carried out in each relevant container). The results showed that the different tanks significantly differentiated the wines on the base of all the chemical and sensory parameters considered. In particular, wines aged in earthenware raw amphorae and uncoated concrete registered a high content in polymeric pigments as the new oak barrel, resulting the materials that better promote the wine color stabilization. The same wines also showed the highest pH and tartaric stability, mostly due to the observed release of elementals from the tank material into wine. Bottle aging mostly enhanced the chemical and sensory differences between all the wines: they were characterized by higher content of varietal volatiles such as norisoprenoids and terpenes, probably due to the reductive conditions in bottle. The bottle affected also the perceived quality of the wines aged in concrete associated to the floral flavor, floral odor, sweetness attributes, and to a lesser extent to acidity, while the ones aged in stainless steel and amphorae to the berry jam odor.

Tutela legale delle denominazioni di origine nel mondo (con aspetti applicativi)

Uno degli aspetti più importanti nel commercio internazionale dei vini a denominazione è quello del riconoscimento dei diritti di esclusiva garantiti sui e dal territorio geografico d’o­rigine. Al fine di cautelarsi nei confronti della sempre più agguerrita concorrenza mondiale, è opportuno adottare adeguate protezioni ufficiali e legali delle denominazioni che possono derivare sia dalla “naturalità” del prodotto stesso che dalla “originalità” più particolare.

Terroir, climat et sol

Le sol et le climat occupent une place prépondérante dans le concept de terroir, pour lequel l’OIV s’apprête à adopter une définition internationale. Les travaux de recherche qui ont été menés depuis une trentaine d’années sur ces thèmes et qui ont été, pour les plus importants, présentés dans les 7 premiers Congrès Internationaux des Terroirs Viticoles ont considérablement modifié les connaissances sur le fonctionnement des terroirs viticoles dans le monde et le comportement des consommateurs avertis par rapport aux vins de terroirs.

Increasing microalgae biomass feedstock by valorizing wine gaseous and liquid residues

Global warming due to greenhouse gases (GHG) has become a serious worldwide concern. The new EU Green Deal aims t0 achieve GHG emissions reduction by at least 55% by 2030 and a climate neutral EU economy by 2050. The deal strongly encourages GHG reducing measures at local, national and European levels. The REDWine project will demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of reducing by, at least, 31% of the CO2 eq. emissions produced in the winery industry value chain by utilizing biogenic fermentation CO2 for microalgae biomass production
