Study on the impact of clone on the varietal aroma of Xinomavro

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study: It is well documented that varietal aroma is an important parameter of wine quality. Chemical compounds responsible for wine varietal aroma are sourced from secondary grape metabolites. Until today little research is conducted on the influence of vine clone on the grape aromatic content of Greek grape varieties. Xinomavro (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important Greek grape varieties, valuable for the wine industry of Northern Greece since it contributes to the production of PDO wine of Naoussa, Amindeo and Goumenissa.

Material and methods: In this study we determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) the volatile compounds responsible for varietal aroma of nine clone candidates of Xinomavro. The research was conducted during two consecutive years (2017 and 2018). The vineyard was planted in 2011, with material selected according to the corresponding E.U. legislation for vine clone selection.

Results: We identified volatile compounds in both free-volatile and bound forms with glycosides. The second category is crucial for wine quality since it constitutes the pool for future wine aroma.

Influence des facteurs naturels du terroir sur la maturation du raisin en Alsace

A study of the influence of environmental factors on the ripening of grapes under the conditions of Alsace is carried out. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of the mesoclimate and pedoclimate. The experiment is conducted on a network of plots of gewurztraminer grafted on SO4. The production conditions are standardized throughout the device.

Chemical and sensory quality, environmental sustainability, and consumer acceptance of South Tyrolean wines produced from hybrid grape varieties

Disease-resistant hybrid grape cultivars (DRHGCs) are hybrids of Vitis vinifera varieties with other Vitis species, and they are endowed with greater resistance to specific fungal diseases, enabling a potential reduction in the application of pesticides in the vineyard.

Comparison of the effects of hormone- and natural-based elicitors on key metabolic pathways in cv. Tempranillo

One of the most important effects of climate change in wine-growing areas is the advance of phenological stages, especially concerning early berry ripening. In the hottest seasons, this results in a lack of synchrony between sugar and phenolic ripeness. In order to cope with this fact, a general effort is being made by researchers and growers aiming at delaying ripening through different strategies. One of the proposed approaches is the application of elicitors. This study aims to assess the effect at the transcriptomic level of application of three elicitors (Vitalfit, Fruitel, and Protone) in Tempranillo.
