Addition of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort to obtain different Italian Grape Ales

Abstract

Nowadays, the recovery of secondary resources of wine industry is insufficient and the developing of new products and adjuvants from secondary raw materials could become a relevant sector of research. The re-use of byproducts derived from winemaking could improve the sustainability of wine industry and give additional value to other food industries. In the last decades the number of craft breweries have significantly grown all over the world and food market saturation with new food products seemed to be at an all-time high, including alcoholic beverages. For this reason, many breweries started to produce non-conventional beers, also using different raw materials such as ancient grains, spices, and fruits, trying to put on the market something that previously did not exist. Italian Grape Ale (IGA) beers are produced starting from pils or pale malt and should not exhibit a roasty, stout like, profile. Grape or grape must can be pasteurized before the addition and used at different stages of brewing boil, primary/secondary fermentation, or aging. The addition can range from 5% to 40 % of the wort composition. A proper option for brewers could be the addition of an aromatic grape variety to beer wort. Malvasia di Candia aromatica (MaCA) is a grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivar (cv.) that produces aromatic white grapes and is mainly cultivated in the Emilia Romagna province of Piacenza. Another possibility to make new products in beer industry is related to grape marcs addition in different stages of the brewing process with a high added value from a chemical and nutritional point of view. This work studied the possible addition of MaCA grape must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort in different percentages: 10 and 20%. Fermentations were carried out in triplicate with a control made of 100% beer wort. General parameters, organic acids (LC-DAD), aroma compounds (GC-MS), target polyphenols (LC-MS/MS) and sensory evaluation were carried out to evaluate changes after MaCA juice and marcs addition. Increasing in acidity values were measured in final products after MaCA juice addition compared to controls (1.98, 2.31, and 2.41 g/L of tartaric acid equivalent in beer controls, MaCA 10%, and MaCA 20%, respectively) and after MaCA marcs addition (1.98, 3.15, and 3.40 g/L of tartaric acid equivalent in beer controls, MaCA 10%, and MaCA 20%, respectively). Other results confirmed that beers with 20% MaCA juice addition and 10% MaCA marcs addition resulted more complex in aroma profile with the presence of free monoterpenic compounds, expecially β-citronellol, linalool, linalool oxides, nerol and α-terpineol. Sensory evaluation confirmed differences in aroma intensity and acidity perception between different beers. Panelists preferred the addition of 20 % of MaCA juice as the best option. Collaboration with a craft brewery will carried out to produce beers with addition of 20 % of MaCA juice and 10% of MaCA marcs in a 12-hL scale.

Towards a regional mapping of vine water status based on crowdsourcing observations

Monitoring vine water status is a major challenge for vineyard management because it influences both yield and harvest quality. It is also a challenge at the territorial scale for identifying periods of high water restriction or zones regularly impacted by water stress. This information is of major importance for defining collective strategies, anticipating harvest logistic or applying for irrigation authorisation. At this spatial scale, existing tools and methods for monitoring vine water status are few and often require strong assumptions (e.g. water balance model). This paper proposes to consider a collaborative collection of observations by winegrowers and wine industry stakeholders (crowdsourcing) as an interesting alternative. Indeed, it allows the collection of a large number of field observations while pooling the collection effort. However, the feasibility of such a project and its interest in monitoring vine water status at regional scale has never been tested.

The objective of this article is to explore the possibility of making a regional map of vine water status based on crowdsourcing observations. It is based on the study of the free mobile application ApeX-Vigne, which allows the collection of observations about vine shoot growth. This information is easy to collect and can be considered, under certain conditions, as a proxy for vine water status. This article presents the first results obtained from the nearly 18,000 observations collected by winegrowers and wine industry stakeholders during 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons. It presents the vine shoot growth maps obtained at regional scale and their evolution over the three vintages studied. It also proposes an analysis of the factors that favoured the number of observations collected and those that favoured their quality. These results open up new perspectives for monitoring vine water status at a regional scale but above they provide references for other crowdsourcing projects in viticulture.

Intra-varietal diversity in cv. ‘Tempranillo Tinto’: phenological stages

‘Tempranillo Tinto’ is one of the most relevant grapevine cultivars worldwide. Despite its early ripening and relatively short vegetative cycle, which may not be ideal for high-quality grape and wine production in warming conditions, its long-standing cultivation has led to an intense multiplication by cuttings, which originated the high level of clonal variation currently available. Now, this intra-varietal diversity provides an interesting opportunity for cultivar improvement by identifying genotypes with better adaptation potential.

Characterization of the thiol aromatic potential of a new resistant grape variety: Floreal

Aims: Due to climate change and the desire to decrease enological inputs (organic farming), the vineyard has to be modified and the selection of new resistant grape varieties as an alternative is researched intensively today. From January 2018, four new grape varieties that are resistant against mildew and odium have been added to the official
