Toasted Vine-Shoots As An Alternative Enological Tool. Impact On The Sensory Profile Of Tempranillo Wines

Abstract

The use of toasted vine-shoots as an alternative enological tool to make differentiated wines has generated interest among researchers and wineries. However, the evolution of these wines in bottle and the effect on the sensory profile has not been studied so far.

 

In this work, Tempranillo wines were elaborated in contact with their own toasted vine-shoots fragments in two different doses and two moments of addition: in the middle of alcoholic fermentation (1/2AF) and after malolactic fermentation (AMF). After removing vine-shoots, the wines were bottled, and a sensory analysis was carried out over a year using a specific scorecard which included color, olfactory and taste descriptors. Also, along with the traditional odor descriptors, a new one, named SEGs (Shoot from vines – Enological – Granule), was included to describe the specific impact of the vine-shoots. Besides, the phenolic and volatile compositions of wines were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and SBSE-GC-MS, respectively.

 

Results of the statistical analysis showed a greater contribution of the vine-shoots addition moment than doses in the wines sensory differentiation. The sensory analysis at bottling time showed that vine-shoots only modified the color in AMF wines, having more violet tones than the control. However, after 120 days in bottle, the garnet and red tones were upwards, being greater than in the control wine. This suggests a better evolution of wines macerated with lower doses of toasted vine-shoots.

 

Regarding to odor descriptors, wines from treatments showed at the end of winemaking higher values than control wine, except for red fruit notes. At bottling time, the notes of nuts, toast and SEGs were the most important in AMF wines with respect to the control. However, along time in bottle, the differences of these descriptors with respect to the control decreased in AMF wines and slightly increased in 1/2AF ones.

 

Concerning taste descriptors, at bottling time wines from treatments showed higher values than control, mainly in AMF wines, where nuts, toast and SEGs nuances were the most intense. However, there were differences in the bottle evolution between wines from treatments, which slightly enhanced of several descriptors in 1/2AF but decreased in AMF wines, which suggests a better integration of the vine-shoots in the wine in the last case. On the other hand, tannins of wines from vine-shoots treatments were described by tasters as sweetness, non-dryness and non-bitterness since the first tasting, contrary to control ones, where dryness and bitterness were appreciated up to 120 days in bottle.

 

Finally, after a year in the bottle, the differentiation in the sensory profile of the wines was maintained, although the aromatic nuances were softened.

Cover crops under-vine impact on grapevine performance and vineyard soil microorganisms is highly affected by edaphoclimatic conditions at a regional scale 

Soil management through cover crops can influence the cycle of nutrients, promote water infiltration, decrease erosion, and enhance the soil microbiota biodiversity, improving the grapevine performance. However, the area under the vines tends to be left bare by applying herbicides or tillage to avoid competition with the crop in semi-arid climates. Use of covers under-vine might be an alternative to these practices aiming at grapevine quality and soil health improvement. The aim of this research was to study the implications of soil management under the vines (cultivation and cover crops) on growth, yield, berry composition and soil microbial communities. A cover crop composed by a mixture of legumes was sown and compared with a control (cultivation), which includes frequent tillage to keep the soil bare, in three areas characterized by different edaphoclimatic conditions in the region of Navarra.

Influence of nitrogen supply on colorimetric parameters of Lugana wines

AIM: Color is one of the main qualitative parameters of a wine. As a matter of fact, immediately after having opened a bottle of wine, color, even before aroma and taste, is the first sensorial parameter to be evaluated by the consumer It can change according to various factors depending on the characteristics of the grapes or on the different production and storage processes. This study aims to evaluate the color differences on Lugana wines that are fermented with different yeast and nitrogen supply.
