Wines produces without SO2 addition: which impact on their colour? An approach at the global and pigments levels

Abstract

Since the 18th century, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is used in winemaking. Added at different steps, its antimicrobial but also antioxidasic and antioxidant properties are very helpful for winemakers. Nevertheless sulfur dioxide has a real potential health impact, particularly for sensitive consumers often highlighted by hygienists. Nowadays, a serious trend for “natural” wines (i.e. produced without any additives), as described by their producers, could be observed on the French market what match with a proliferation of wines elaborated without any sulfite addition. 

During the winemaking process, anthocyanins are extracted from the grape’s skins and their concentrations and chemical reactivity all over red wine shelf life will determine its colour. If the key role of oxygen during ageing on colour stabilization is well established for a long time and explained by the production of acetaldehyde (from ethanol) which allow to create ethylidene bridges between anthocyanins and tannins (Es-Safi, 1999. Recently a strategy has been develop to identified and quantified separately each family of polymeric pigments formed during ageing in red wine by UPLC-UV-Q-TOF (Zeng, 2015)

Wines selected for this study were, on one hand, thirty-five commercial wines from Bordeaux area (2015 and 2016 vintages, respectively 19 produced without sulfite addition and 16 with) and, on the other hand, eight experimental wines also produced with and without sulfites addition from grapes of the same plot a different maturity levels (2017 and 2018 vintage). Wines were analyzed by spectrophotometric techniques and their polymeric pigments were quantified by UPLC-UV-Q-TOF. Colour of wines produced without sulfites addition were more intense and L*a*b values indicated that they significantly had deeper purplish colour than the wine with sulphite. This colour differences indicating a more qualitative stabilisation of the red wine colour. The quantification of each polymeric pigments by UPLC-UV-Q-TOF after acidic depolymerisation shows that polymeric pigments with an ethylidene linkages between the anthocyanins moieties and the flavanol moieties were significantly more abundant in the red wine produce without sulphite. This higher concentration of these polymeric pigments could explain the observed colour differences since they are known to exhibit a purple colour.

Aptitude du cépage Chenin à l’élaboration de vins liquoreux en relation avec certaines unités terroirs de base de A.O.C. Coteaux du Layon

Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin. If it is found all over the world (California, Israel, South Africa), it is in this region that it best asserts its identity. It is one of the most interesting grape varieties due to the variety and complexity of the wines it can produce. It can give very dry or very sweet, still or sparkling wines, fresh when young and sublime when ageing, expressing the characteristics of each vintage as much as those of the terroir. The Chenin is a faithful witness of its geographical, geological, pedological and climatic environment; he is the foil of the land. It has strong aptitudes for the production of sweet wines conditioned by overripe grapes often botrytised in the AOC Coteaux du Layon.Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin.

Optimization of the ripening time of new varieties descendants of Monastrell

Given the impact of climate change on viticulture in the Region of Murcia, this paper attempts to expose the possibility of using genetic improvement as a dilemma that allows access to new descendant varieties of the autochthonous variety Monastrell crossed with varieties such as Syrah and Cabernet. Sauvignon, thus obtaining hybrids (Gebas and Myrtia). In it, the chromatic parameters and the phenolic profile of the new varieties will be compared with those obtained by the Monastrell variety at two moments during maturation (12 and 14 º Baumé), to check if the results would allow earlier harvests in these new varieties thus avoiding the decoupling between phenolic and technological maturity, while improving the quality of grapes and wines.

Climatic zoning and viticulture in Galicia (North West Spain)

Galicia is situated in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula, just north of Portugal and so sharing a mild, maritime climate, certain vine species and a number of long-standing viticultural traditions. In Galicia about 18,000 has are dedicated to wine growing, of which roughly half (46%) correspond to the 6 DOs in the area.

“Gheo” per la vitivinicoltura: un progetto per la produzione dl vini dl alta qualità

Il settore primario, ed in particolare quello agricolo, sta attraversando un periodo partico­larmente delicato. Sia gli aspetti della produzione che quelli della commercializzazione ven­gono infatti messi in discussione da nuovi indirizzi economici e tecnologici.

VALORIZATION OF GRAPE WINE POMACE USING PULSED ELECTRIC FIELDS (PEF) AND SUPERCRITICAL CO₂ (SC CO₂) EXTRACTION

Wine grape pomace quantitatively and qualitatively represents the most important fraction of wine waste. Namely, this by-product makes ~ 20% of the total mass of vinified grapes, and it is characterized with high concentrations of polyphenolic antioxidants, as well as grape seed oil. Hence, valorization of wine pomace, as an alternative to traditionally employed disposal, has drown considerable interest in recent years. Earlier studies were mostly focused on the extraction of phenolics, while mechanisms enhancing the extraction of lipid fraction from grape pomace, as well as their impact on the grape seed oil quality are far less investigated.
