Phenolic acid characterization in new varieties descended from Monastrell.

Abstract

Phenolic acids are phytochemicals that are expansively distributed in daily food intake. Phenolic acids are involved in various physiological activities, such as nutrient uptake, enzyme activity, protein synthesis, photosynthesis, and cytoskeleton structure in seeds, leaves, roots, and stems. Also exhibit antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory activities due to their antioxidant property.
Climatic conditions are generally believed to largely determine the formation of specific wine characteristics of certain grape varieties. In addition, a continuous increase in global temperature is responsible for a significant decrease in wine quality since excessive sugar contents result in a high alcohol content, low acidity, imperfect colour and negative effects on the flavour of wine due to the uncoupling of ripening from phenolic compound production (delayed) and to technological processing (accelerated). By this reason, our research centre (IMIDA), has carried out a genetic improvement program with the Monastrell variety, in order to obtain improved and adapted varieties. In this line, Monastrell has been crossed with others such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah (MC80, MC98, MS10, MC18, MC4 and MS104).
This study represents the first data of phenolic acid composition of new varieties obtained from crosses with Monastrell. Phenolic acids are divided into hydroxy-benzoic (HBA) and hydroxycinnamic (HCA). The main HBA acids present in juices and wines are protocatechuic, vanillin, gallic and syringic, and the main HCA are p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, and cis and trans cinnamic acid: caftaric, cutaric and fertaric.
During two consecutive seasons (2020 and 2021) the profile of phenolic acids from Monastrell and six new varieties have been studied in grapes and wines. The metabolites analysed were gallic, protocatechuic, vanillin, syringic, coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, caftaric and cutaric acids. MC80, MC98 and MS10 obtained high concentrations of these phenolic acids in their grapes and wines compared to Monastrell variety.
In short, these new varieties have higher concentrations in phenolic acids compared to Monastrell so given their potential health benefits, phenolic acids have attracted considerable research interest. Therefore, these new varieties could have an interesting point of view in human health due to their rich nutrients in their wines.

Identification of aroma markers in amarone wines

Amarone is an Italian red wine produced in the Valpolicella area, in north-eastern Italy. Due to its elaboration with withered grapes, Amarone is a rather unique example of dry red wine. However, there is very limited data so far concerning the volatile composition of commercial Amarone wines, which also undergo a cask aging of 2-4 years before release. The present work aims at characterizing the aroma composition of Amarone and to elucidate the relationships between chemical composition and sensory characters. The analysis of 17 Amarone commercial wines from the same vintage (2015) was carried out by means of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and extracted by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME). In addition, the sampled wines were subjected to a sensory evaluation in the form of sorting task.RESULTS: 70 volatile compounds were successfully identified and quantified, 30 of which were present in concentrations above their odor thresholds in all the samples. Using the odor activity value (OAV), the compounds that potentially contribute to Amarone perceived aroma are b-damascenone, ethyl and isoamyl acetate, ethyl esters (hexanoate, octanoate, butanoate, 3-methybutanoate), 4-ethyl guaiacol, 3-methylbutanoic acid, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), eugenol, massoia lactone, 1,4-cineol, TDN, cis/trans-whisky lactone. In certain samples, high OAVs were also observed for 4-ethyl phenol and 1,8-cineole.Results from the sorting task sensory analysis showed three clusters formed.

Prospects of thermal imaging as a non-invasive tool to assess water status for irrigation scheduling in commercial vineyards

Aim: Irrigated viticulture is expanding worldwide mainly as a short-term adaptation strategy to climate change. Plant-based methods are increasingly being used for irrigation scheduling in commercial vineyards. Canopy temperature (TC) has long been recognized as an indicator of plant water status. TC, but also the thermal stress indices, e.g. crop water stress index (CWSI) and stomatal

La zonazione viticola e i compiti dell’amministrazione regionale

Solo attraverso un adeguato intervento di estirpazione e reimpianto dei vigneti è possibile preservare, adeguare e valorizzare il patrimonio viticolo e le produzioni che da esso derivano.
Il reimpianto dei vigneti è pertanto da intendersi come una normale pratica agricola, alla pari della rimonta di stalla in campo zootecnico, ma può assumere toni problematici quando, come si verifica adesso in Toscana per una serie di circostanze legate alla profonda trasfor­mazione della viticoltura avvenuta negli ultimi 30 anni, troppi impianti giungono contem­poraneamente a fine ciclo produttivo e devono essere rinnovati.
