Oak wood barrel tannin potential builds white wines oxidative stability and contributes to wine metabolomics fingerprint

Abstract

Considerable advances have been made in the chemical characterization of wine metabolites through its holistic study using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics approach. The metabolite pool is subject to an intense molecular dialogue which reinforces the wine complexity even after bottling. The wine oxidative stability might be understood as the intrinsic matrix capacity to prevent aroma deterioration due to oxidative processes. Barrel aging in oak wood is a key element of the elaboration of premium white wines. We have shown that the oak wood tannin potential can influence the wine character and its oxidative status. Here, we report the cross-analysis of the evolution of the antioxidant capacity and related metabolomic fingerprint for white wines made from three distinct varieties (Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon) in barrels with distinct tannin potential. 

The sample set was made of 10 bottles of 2016 Chardonnay where 5 were raised in low tannin potential (LTP) barrels and 5 in medium tannin potential (MTP) barrels; 6 bottles of 2016 Sauvignon (3 LTP and 3 MTP). Fourteen bottles of blends of Sauvignon and Semillon of two vintages (6 bottles of 2016 and 8 of 2017) were also considered to compare new barrel aging to the aging in already used barrel. Wines were assayed for their ability to scavenge DPPH radical, and they were analyzed through untargeted UPLC-Q-Tof-MS and targeted GC-TQ-MS analyses. The untargeted metabolomics approach revealed molecular fingerprints (elemental composition determination) resulting from complex interactions between the wine matrix and the tannin potential. In brief, wines aged in MTP barrel presented a higher density of CHON features in the lower mass range (100-350 Da), while wines aged in LTP barrel rather presented higher density in higher mass range (350-650 Da). This indicated that wines aged in MTP were richer in compounds like mono and di-amino acid peptides that mostly correlated with wine antioxidant capacity (evaluated as EC20) when LTP rather contained oligopeptides. The analysis of the wine volatile profile revealed differences between varieties as well as barrel tannin potential distinction. Thus, LTP presented higher contents in γ-octalactone, γ-nonalactone, furaneol, β-damascenone, furfural, gaiacol, E-whiskylactone and Z-whiskylactone. The present study provided evidence that new MTP oak wood barrels are the most suitable to extend the white wine oxidative stability and to maintain a varietal signature.

Combination of NIR multispectral information acquired from a ground moving vehicle with AI methods to assess the vine water status in a Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) commercial vineyard

Increasing water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall patterns necessitate efficient water management in grape production. This study proposes a novel approach for monitoring grapevine water status in a commercial vertically-shoot-positioned Vitis vinifera L. Tempranillo vineyard using non-invasive spectroscopy with a battery of different AI methods to assess vineyard water status, that could drive precise irrigation. A contactless, miniature NIR spectrometer (900-1900 nm) mounted on a moving vehicle (3 Km/h) was employed to collect spectral data from the vines’ northeast side along six dates in season 2021.

Impact of environmental conditions in vscs production during wine fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The aroma of wine is one of the most important determinants of quality as it strongly influences the consumer’s acceptance or rejection. Among the thousands of molecules comprising the wine aroma, sulfur-containing compounds can be considered as a “double-edged sword”: some of them, deriving from varietal precursors provide fruity pleasant aromas, while other ones, produced by yeast metabolism are related to “unpleasant” aromas

Study of Spanish wine sensory analysis data over a 3-year period

This study presents an investigation based on sensory analysis data of Spanish wines with geographical indications collected over a three-year period. Sensory analysis plays a crucial role in assessing the quality, characteristics, and perception of wines. The trained tasting panel at Dolmar Laboratory, accredited for objective sensory evaluation of wines since 2016, has been tasting over 5000 wines. However, it is since 2021, when a computer application for tastings was developed, that the digitalization of data allows for detailed statistical analysis of the results.

The suitability for viticulture at varying altitudes: a study of grapevine ripening in the Italian Alps

Planting vineyards in cooler climates has been used over recent years as
a strategy to counter the climatic shifts caused by climate change. A move towards higher altitudes in hilly and mountainous wine regions may provide a solution to deleterious effects that increased ambient temperatures have on wine quality. Until now, the influences of higher altitudes and their climates, as well as their effect on vine growing cycles, still holds a lot of scientific uncertainty. The transnational EU-funded project REBECKA (Interreg V-A IT-AT: ITAT1002, duration: 2017-2019) has the objective to develop a regional valuation method to rate the suitability for viticulture in South Tyrol (Italy) and Carinthia (Austria). Preliminary surveys were performed regarding the effects of altitude on ripening performance of the cultivar Pinot Noir.
